   Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul Pelosi agreed to allow   
   lawyers for the government and those defending his alleged attacker to   
   inspect their San Francisco home, according to a Wednesday evening court   
   filing.   
      
   The access is part of preparations for the federal trial in the case   
   against David DePape, who is accused of bludgeoning Paul Pelosi with a   
   hammer in his home in October 2022.   
      
   The Pelosis agreed to the visit voluntarily. DePape will not be allowed to   
   have unsupervised access to any information about the visit, according to   
   the filing.   
      
   The Pelosis had initially rejected the request to allow access to their   
   home, according to July court filings.   
      
   DePape faces two counts in federal court, for attempted kidnapping of a   
   federal officer — Pelosi — which carries up to 20 years in prison, three   
   years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine, among other penalties;   
   and for assault on an immediate family member of a federal officer — 82-   
   year-old Paul Pelosi — which carries up to 30 years’ imprisonment, five   
   years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine, plus additional   
   penalties.   
      
   Prosecutors said DePape, 42, armed with a hammer, broke into the Pelosi   
   residence in the middle of the night with a plan to hold then-House   
   Speaker Nancy Pelosi hostage.   
      
   After a tense and lengthy encounter at Paul Pelosi’s bedside, DePape   
   allegedly struck him with a hammer and fractured his skull. The bloody   
   encounter was captured by a San Francisco police officer’s body camera.   
      
   While in custody, DePape spoke candidly about hurting the speaker’s   
   husband and described the effort it took to break into the Pacific Heights   
   home, but he has pleaded not guilty to the charges he’s facing.   
      
   DePape also faces charges in state court.   
      
   Pelosi’s office declined to comment Thursday morning.
