"Accused Man in Paul Pelosi Attack Trial Links 'Gamergate' to Right-Wing Conspiracies"
David DePape, the man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi, husband of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with a hammer, testified in court that he went to the Pelosis' home as part of a plan to end corruption in the United States. DePape tearfully recounted how his political leanings shifted from leftist to right-wing after being drawn to right-wing conspiracies, including the Gamergate controversy. He admitted to bludgeoning Paul Pelosi but claimed it was a reaction to his larger plan unraveling. DePape's trial is ongoing, and if convicted, he faces life in prison.
