San Francisco prosecutors are refusing a public interest law firm's request for the body camera footage of the police response to the Oct. 28 assault of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband or the tape of the 911 call that brought police to the home.
“There is significant public interest in the terrible attack on Paul Pelosi and it is odd that the local authorities are withholding basic information about the incident,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's husband, was brutally assaulted in the couple's San Francisco home by a man armed with a hammer, who planned to kidnap and harm Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi was in Washington, D.C. at the time.
The home was under protective surveillance by Capitol Police, but officers were not monitoring the cameras at the time of the attack.
“Among the items District Attorney Brooke Jenkins refused to release are a recording of Paul Pelosi's 911 call and police officers' body camera footage,” Judicial Watch reports.
“In its November 2022 request to the district attorney, Judicial Watch noted a news report stating that news organizations had been rebuffed on similar requests,” the group reports.
In addition to the recording and camera footage, Judicial Watch, under the California Public Records Act, asked for “All records of communications, including emails and text messages, between the SFDAO [San Francisco District Attorney's Office] and the San Francisco Police Department concerning the incident. It also asked for communications with several federal agencies, including the Justice Department, the Capitol Police, and the FBI.”
“Judicial Watch also asked for the identities of the persons at the Pelosi home at the time of the incident,” the group notes.
That appears to be the only information prosecutors released.
“The two persons present at the Pelosi home when the SFPD arrived where [sic] Mr. Pelosi and Mr. DePape,” said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins in her office's response.
Judicial Watch previously secured footage of Paul Pelosi's arrest on a charge of alleged drunk driving. In the footage, Pelosi appears to invoke his wife's name and position, and his contributions to police charities, in an attempt to evade citation.
