A man accused of breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home and hitting her husband in the head with a hammer pleaded not guilty in court Wednesday. San Francisco, Reuters reports, reports Agerpres.

David Wayne DePape, a 42-year-old Canadian, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, deprivation of liberty, abuse of an elderly person and threatening a family member of an official, he told San Francisco County. This is stated in the statement of lawyer Brooke Jenkins.

According to her, the next meeting at which the date of the jury trial will be set is scheduled for February 23, 2023.

According to prosecutors, DePope hoped to find Nancy Pelosi, who he believed was “responsible for the lies” the Democratic Party was telling.

Paul Pelosi, 82, was released from the hospital six days after the attack in late October.
