"Trial Begins for Paul Pelosi Hammer Attack Suspect with Wild Conspiracy Theories"

The trial of David DePape, the man accused of breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home and attacking her husband with a hammer, has begun. DePape's lawyer argued that he was motivated by conspiracy theories, believing Pelosi was part of a plot to manipulate the country and steal votes from Donald Trump. DePape faces federal charges, including attempted kidnapping, and could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison if convicted. The defense claimed that DePape's interest in Pelosi was not due to her political status but rather driven by right-wing conspiracies. Prosecutors argued that DePape intended to kidnap Pelosi and presented evidence, including the hammer used in the attack. The trial continues.
