Nancy Pelosi says her husband, Paul, is 'coming along' in his recovery from attack

Nancy Pelosi said that her husband, Paul, is making progress in his recovery after he was attacked with a hammer.

Pelosi was asked during her weekly press conference on Capitol Hill for an update on her husband's health. It is going to take a long time. Beyond surgery, head injuries have an effect. It is a large thing. Thank you for asking.

Pelosi thanked people all over the world for their support after the attack.

"From our grassroots activists to royalty around the world, everyone has sent in prayers, so we welcome that," she said.

There are numerous federal and state charges against the suspect, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment of an elder, attempted kidnapping of a federal officer, and an assault on a family member of a federal officer.

According to the criminal complaint, DePape was carrying a bag with zip ties and duct tape when he broke into the home and confronted Pelosi.

At the time of the incident, Nancy Pelosi was in Washington, D.C.

According to DePape, he had planned to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage and talk to her. If she had lied, he would have broken her knee caps, but he intended to let her go. According to the affidavit, DePape assumed that she would lie to him.

She was seen as the leader of the pack by DePape.

According to the complaint, DePape said that by breaking Nancy's knee caps, she would have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other members of Congress there were consequences to actions.

He was going to restrain Pelosi with zip ties. Pelosi went to the door when the police arrived. According to the complaint, the two wrestled over the hammer that DePape had brought with him into the residence, and DePape hit Pelosi with it.

Pelosi had surgery Friday to repair his skull. He will make a full recovery after being discharged.
