Capitol Police, FBI and San Francisco Police Launch Joint Investigation Into Pelosi Home Break-in
The United States Capitol Police (USCP), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the San Francisco Police are launching a “joint investigation into a break-in” at the California home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to a U.S. Capitol Police statement distributed by the speaker’s office.
“During the California break-in, the Speaker’s husband [Paul Pelosi] was assaulted, but he is now recovering. The San Francisco Police Department has the suspect in custody. The motivation for the attack is still under investigation,” read the statement released on Friday.
“Special Agents with the USCP’s California Field Office quickly arrived on scene, while a team of investigators from the Department’s Threat Assessment Section was simultaneously dispatched from the East Coast to assist the FBI and the San Francisco Police with a joint investigation,” the statement also read.
Pelosi’s office said the speaker was not in California when the assault occurred.
