Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was discharged from the hospital. Nancy Pelosi reports it on Thursday. He was hospitalized and operated on after a thief attacked him with a hammer in the house. The thief, accused of assault and attempted kidnapping, would have sought Nancy Pelosi.
On Saturday, US President Joe Biden told reporters that Paul Pelosi, 82, is doing better. He is still under the supervision of a doctor.
In the attack, he sustained a skull fracture and severe injuries to his right arm and both hands. The thief was looking for Nancy Pelosi because he wanted to take her hostage, but she was not in her house.
The suspect on Tuesday said he was innocent of attempted murder and other charges. He is also accused of, among other things, home burglary, threatening a family member of a government official, attempted kidnapping and assault. He faces a prison sentence that has been extended to life in prison for several years.
