Fox News
A jury has found David DePape guilty of two federal charges linked to the hammer attack against Paul Pelosi, the husband of the former house speaker.
Following the jury's decision, spokesperson Aaron Bennett said that the Pelosi family is "very grateful for the outpouring of prayers and warm wishes for Mr. Pelosi from so many across the country during this difficult time." "The Pelosi family is very proud of their Pop, who demonstrated extraordinary composure and courage on the night of the attack a year ago and in the courtroom last week," read the family's statement. "Thankfully, Mr. Pelosi continues to make progress in his recovery." Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
Bennett said the former speaker and her family would not comment further on the matter, "given the ongoing state court proceedings."
The guilty verdict comes as DePape also faces numerous charges at the state level in relation to the Oct. 28, 2022 attack, including assault with a deadly weapon, residential burglary and elder abuse. A trial date for those charges reportedly will be set by the end of this month.
