DePape was indicted on Nov. 9 for the Oct. 28 assault on Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Coverage of the incident seems to have downplayed the significance of a kidnapping attempt and possibly even an assassination attempt against the speaker of the House, the woman third in line to the presidency.
DePape was charged with one count of assault on an immediate family member of a United States official with the intent to retaliate against the official on account of the performance of official duties in violation of Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 115(a)(1)(A). He was also charged with one count of attempted kidnapping of a United States official on account of the performance of official duties in violation of Title 18, U.S.C., § 1201(a) and 1201(a)(5).
