		</div><p>Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to impose a 40-year prison sentence for the man who broke into former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home seeking to hold her hostage and attacked her husband with a hammer.</p>
<p>The San Francisco Chronicle reported late on Friday that prosecutors made the request ahead of a sentencing hearing for David DePape, saying he has not shown remorse for the October 2022 attack.</p>
<p>“There is nothing about the history and characteristics of the defendant that warrant leniency,” federal prosecutors wrote in court documents.</p>
<p>“The defendant has admitted – indeed bragged – that he knew what he was doing.”</p>
<p>DePape was convicted last year of attempted kidnapping of a federal official and assault on the immediate family member of a federal official. He is scheduled to be sentenced Friday.</p>
<p>The attack on then-82-year-old Paul Pelosi, which was captured on police body camera video just days before the midterm elections, sent shockwaves through the political world.</p>
<p>DePape admitted during his trial that he broke into the Pelosis’ home intending to hold the speaker hostage and “break her kneecaps” if she lied to him.</p>
<p>He also admitted to bludgeoning Paul Pelosi with a hammer after police showed up at the home, saying his plan to end what he viewed as government corruption was unraveling.</p>
<p>The defence said DePape was motivated by his political beliefs and caught up in conspiracy theories.</p>
<p>Nancy Pelosi was not at the home at the time of the attack. Paul Pelosi suffered two wounds on his head, including a skull fracture that was mended with plates and screws he will have for the rest of his life. His right arm and hand were also injured.</p>
