NBC News SUSPENDS Correspondent Who Wrote Retracted Story About Attack On Nancy Pelosi’s Husband

Kelly also referred to Almaguer as a s——, and she and her guest that day, Steve Krakauer, suggested the story was retracted because the police were “trying to spin” the story in an alleged cover-up.

David DePape, the man accused of breaking into the Pelosi residence and bludgeoning Paul in the head with a hammer, has since been charged with one count of attempted kidnapping of a federal officer or employee and one count of assault of an immediate family member of a federal official.

DePape also reportedly admitted he was looking for House Speaker Pelosi when he allegedly broke into the Pelosi home on October 28, and had planned to “hold Nancy hostage and break her kneecaps.”
