State and federal law enforcement agencies released details of David Depape’s plan to kidnap and assault Nancy Pelosi, a plan which resulted in a deadly attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi. Given the baseless conspiracies being circulated on the right (including by Elon Musk), I urge you to read the entire Affidavit in Support of Application for Complaint and Arrest Warrant filed by an FBI agent who interviewed Depape and Paul Pelosi. The information contained in the Application confirms information released by the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office.
The information released by two law enforcement agencies completely refutes the defamatory and offensive lies spreading through the right-wing media. Despite the complete collapse of the imaginary factual predicate for the conspiracy theories, no one who promoted the lies has retracted their statements, much less apologized to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Paul Pelosi, and their family. (Looking at you, Elon Musk.)
