The intruder allegedly demanded to see top US Democrat Nancy Pelosi, and left her husband with a fractured skull.

Members of Congress have been on high-alert over security threats since the riot at the US Capitol in January 2021. "This was not a random act," said the police chief of the attack. Mrs Pelosi is one of the most powerful politicians in the country. Their combined net worth, primarily from Mr Pelosi's investments, has made her one of the richest members of Congress. Older messages by the suspect promote hemp jewellery and quartz crystals. The suspect was tackled and disarmed by officers.

Police offer new details in Paul Pelosi assault (Politico)

San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott confirmed that the intruder was specifically targeting the House speaker. "Everyone should be disgusted," he said.

They discovered DePape and Pelosi struggling for a hammer, and after they instructed them to drop the weapon, Scott said, DePape took the hammer and “violently attacked” Pelosi. He expressed anti-Semitic views and appeared to embrace the QAnon movement, which posits a secret cabal of pedophiles has been protected by people in power. That was consistent with the revelation that the assailant, a 42-year-old Berkeley resident, had asked “Where is Nancy?” before his assault.
