According to court documents, DePape is accused of attacking Paul Pelosi in an alleged break-in at his residence. He claimed that he was “sick” of the “insane f—ing level lies coming out Washington, D.C.” and wanted to take Nancy Pelosi hostage.

DePape faces one count each of assault on a family member of an American official in retaliation against him and one count each of attempted kidnapping a U.S. officer in retaliation for his performance of official duties.
