JUST IN: Video released Friday shows Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul fighting for control of a hammer during a brutal attack in the couple's San Francisco home.
DePape then grabbed the hammer out of Pelosi's hand and lunged toward him. The officers rushed into the home, subduing DePape and handcuffing him.
Lawyers for DePape argued against the public release of the audio and footage, writing it would "irreparably damage" his right to a fair trial. DePape has pleaded not guilty to a litany of state and federal crimes related to the attack, including assault and attempted murder. Court documents revealed DePape allegedly woke Paul Pelosi shortly after 2 a.m., carrying a large hammer and several white zip ties, and demanded: "Where's Nancy? Where's Nancy?" He then threatened to tie up Paul Pelosi and prevented him from escaping via elevator, according to the documents. DePape later allegedly told him, "I can take you out.
Following the attack, Paul Pelosi underwent surgery "to repair a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands," a spokesman for Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.
