82-year-old paul pelosi to make a complete recovery. however, it was apparently a very near thing, especially for a man of his age. tonight a spokesperson for his wife, house speaker nancy pelosi, second in the line of presidential succession, said mr. pelosi underwent surgery to repair a fractured skull and serious injury to his right arm and hands. she is now at the hospital with him. this is new video just in of her motorcade arriving. she was in washington when the attack happened. we learned that san francisco s police chief is expected to update the public soon and we will bring you any new information as it becomes available. this is what we know so far. law enforcement sources tell cnn he was attacked by a hammer-wielding intruder shouting, quote, where is nancy? and according to two sources familiar with the situation when the police got there the suspect who is now in custody and charged with attempted murder told him he was, quote, waiting for nancy. although pol
work on this. we will get get back to reporting. for nor on the criminal justice and security aspects of this, cnn senior law enforcement analyst and former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe, former d.c. metro police officer michael fanone who was badly beaten protecting speaker pelosi and others from the mob on january 6th, and also special correspondent jamie. andrew, you heard that report from whitney, new details coming in. what stands out to you about this attack? well, i mean, of course as you said, john, how lucky we are that mr. pelosi was as quick thinking and cool headed as he was to get 911 on the phone, to get that alert to the police officers to respond quickly. but you know the thing that really echoes back to me is something that we have known for quite some time, and it s that these dispossessed people who are motivated by anger and grievance, they react very strongly to these conspiracy
