SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 29 (Reuters) - The man who clubbed U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband in the head with hammer, shouting "Where is Nancy?"
after forcing his way into the couple's San Francisco home, faced charges of attempted murder and other felonies a day later.
President Joe Biden, speaking to reporters in Delaware on Saturday, said the attack appeared to have been "intended for Nancy.".
She flew to San Francisco hours after the attack to be with her husband, and released a statement on Saturday expressing dismay that "a violent man broke into our family home, demanded to confront me and brutally attacked my husband Paul.".
"Our children, our grandchildren and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack on our Pop," she said in the brief statement, addressed to her congressional colleagues.
Police identified the man arrested at the scene as David DePape, 42.
Formal charges will be filed on Monday, and his arraignment is expected on Tuesday, according to the San Francisco district attorney's office. »
