mr. pelosi's condition. we are working to confirm anything with the hospital itself and we are not going to speculate on his condition until we hear directly from those responsible for it or from the pelosi family themselves. but, as for motivation, you heard the chief say we don't know. obviously there is a political element to this at lead because this was apparently a specific target, the pelosi home and the assailant was according to law enforcement sources speaking to our david saying where is nancy, where is nancy so there is a political element. what we don't know is we don't know the suspect's 42-year-old's political views and we also don't know they if there was any sense any element of mental health crisis involved in his decision to go into the pelosi home apparently seeking the speaker and ultimately brutally attacking the speaker's husband 82 year-old paul pelosi. >> is there anything we do know about the assailant at this point? >> nothing we know for sure other than what the police told us john

mr. pelosi. >> unfortunately it wasn't enough to stop the attacker from getting directly to pelosi because we are told that he attacked him with a hammer. this particular home in pacific it's has been the target of multiple attacks reported over the years, 2021. vandals targeted the street side of the residence, put up messages all over the house, spray painted messages in the garage. there was dozens of demonstrators that showed up in 2007 protesting the iraq war so this is on anybody's radar obviously and accessible as you look at the house location. you would also have had to assume it heavily covered with video cameras and that will tell the story of what went down here and how he approached the house. right bill? >> yeah, certainly the video surveillance will certainly tell a story as to what led up to it how the person gained entry. again was the person alone, with others in any way assisting this individual. you know when it does go to show you it is more complicated when residences are in city center as opposed to further out where they can be further secured by a distant perimeter

mr. pelosi. but what i can tell you is much of what you have already reported, which is that this individual forced his way into the pelosi home before eventually attacking mr. pelosi with a hammer before officers could intervene. and, so, he is facing attempted murder charges once we've reviewed this case, but that appears to be which direction we're headed, as well as assault with a deadly weapon and residential burglary. >> so we've already discovered two blogs, district attorney, with the same name of the suspect, on these blogs. qanon-linked content, a video that showed pelosi during one of former president trump's impeachments. do you know anything about the suspect's motive or how long he planned this? do you have any of this information in hand yet? >> no. that is a part of the ongoing investigation right now both between the san francisco police department and the fbi. >> so sources tell cnn the suspect -- you talk about he broke in and then attacked, eventually attacked mr. pelosi. we un

mrs pelosi was in washington at the time. our north america editor sarah smith reports. der used a hammer to smash glass doors and break into the pelosi home, shouting, "where's nancy?" this appears to be a targeted attack. he tried to tie up paul pelosi to wait for his wife to come home. she was in washington at the time. police arrived as the attack was happening. our officers observed mr pelosi and the suspect both holding a hammer. the suspect pulled the hammer away from mr pelosi and violently assaulted him with it. 82—year—old paul pelosi is in hospital undergoing brain surgery. the suspect will be charged with attempted homicide. nancy! 0h, nancy! during the attack on the capitol on january sixth last year, rioters were specifically searching for nancy pelosi. she'd been evacuated from the building by police. later, she blamed donald trump for inciting the riot and putting politicians in danger. it shouldn't be that not only is the president of the united states inciting an insurrection, but keeps fanning the flame, endangering the security of members of congress.

mr. pelosi for medical assistance at the hospital. lot of questions about security. first of all, i want to say that the u.s. capitol police is responsible for protection of speaker pelosi and her family. the san francisco police department will assist in any way we can. i've been in contact with chief tom manger of the u.s. capitol police. we've been in contact with his investigators, at least one of his chiefs, and we are working collaboratively. any questions about the security of the pelosi home should be referred to the u.s. capitol police. that is their responsibility, and i would ask that you refer any questions about security to them. i won't be able to answer any of those questions. we also have received questions about how many times mr. pelosi was struck. and there's a lot of speculation out there. what we know is he was struck at least one time. we're going through our evidence, our evidence, and when we have a definitive answer, we can release that. but right now we don't. so, we know he was struck at least one time, and
