Video of Paul Pelosi attack made public

Video footage of the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was made public on Friday.

The big picture: The move comes after a coalition of 13 news organizations had pushed for the release of evidence in the case of David DePape, the suspect accused of attacking Paul Pelosi, NBC News reported.

On Wednesday, San Francisco County Superior Court Judge Stephen Murphy ruled that the footage could be released, after prosecutors had refused to release the evidence.

Driving the news: The footage was expected to be comprised of video recorded by the body cameras worn by the two police officers who responded to the attack at the Pelosi home, per the New York Times.

Graphic footage shared by NBC Bay Area reporter Bigad Shaban shows a front door and a suspect, whom police have identified as DePape, holding Paul Pelosi's arm. The suspect can be seen raising a hammer and striking Pelosi repeatedly.
