Follow live coverage of the attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband.
Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was assaulted by a man who broke into the couple’s house in San Francisco early on Friday morning, a spokesman for Ms. Pelosi said.
Here’s what to know about the attack.
Mr. Pelosi was ‘violently assaulted.’
A spokesman for Ms. Pelosi, Drew Hammill, said in a statement that “an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi” on Friday morning. Mr. Pelosi, 82, was hospitalized but was expected to make a full recovery, Mr. Hammill said.
The police have a suspect in custody.
The San Francisco police said they took a suspect into custody sometime after the break-in, which was reported just before 2:30 a.m. local time, a spokesman for the department, Officer Robert Rueca, said in a statement. The F.B.I.’s San Francisco office said the suspect is a man.
The Capitol Police said special agents from its field office in California “quickly arrived on scene.” Investigators from the Capitol Police’s threat assessment section on the East Coast were dispatched to assist the F.B.I. and the San Francisco police with an investigation into the break-in, the Capitol Police said.
The Speaker was not home at the time.
Ms. Pelosi was in Washington, D.C., with her protective detail at the time of the break-in, the Capitol Police said in a statement.
The Pelosis have owned a three-floor red brick townhouse in San Francisco’s exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood since 1987. In January 2021, after Congress passed a stimulus bill, their home was vandalized with graffiti, and a pig’s head was left on the sidewalk. The vandalism occurred before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
