to pappe hit paul pelosi in the head two times with aan hammer. both pelosi and de papu wered then taken immediately to a localhos t pelosi for his heades and injuries and to pappe for reasons that are still clear toi . pappe was later charged inn fede federal court with assault and attempted kidnapping. at this point, that s what we can say for certain. david to pappe assaultedaulted paul pelosi with a hammer, apparently to papis admitted that in police custody.n but beyond thosepo factslice, tm is much in the story that remains muddy. e get for example, did h get inside the pelosi s home? that s the first question. last year, abc news reported que what you already guessedst, whih is that pelosi has roundla the clock protection at her houses. quote, she has her own security. she has the capitol police. they fly all the way out herecuy from washington, d.c. with her,r and yet, in this case, san francisco d.a. brooke jenkins says that there was no securityi present at the pelo
