The man accused of attacking the husband of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said there was "evil in Washington" and he was looking to harm Ms Pelosi because she was second in line for the presidency, a San Francisco police sergeant testified on Wednesday (local time).
Key points:
Police say the David DePape also wanted to target others including the California governor, Tom Hanks and Hunter Biden
He pleaded not guilty to federal and state charges and remains held without bail
Mr DePape allegedly told police 'they are all crazy and corrupt and we need to take them out'
The suspect, David DePape, broke into the Pelosis' San Francisco home on October 28, seeking to kidnap the speaker — who was out of town — and instead beat her 82-year-old husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer, authorities said.
