In May, “David DePape was just sentenced to 30 years in the Federal Bureau of Prisons for his violent attack on the wife of the then Speaker of the House of Representatives,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California said.

A jury convicted DePape, 44, of kidnapping and assault in November. He was sentenced to 20 years for one count and 30 years for another, with both sentences to be served concurrently and credit for the 18 months he spent in custody, the AP reported.

According to AP, the attack occurred a few days before the 2022 midterm elections. Paul Pelosi suffered a skull fracture and injuries to his right arm and hand in the attack.
