Husband To Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Attacked By An Intruder

Paul Pelosi, 82, the husband of US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked by an intruder after a break-in at their California home on Friday morning, reports the BBC.

The intruder is said to have entered the residence with a hammer and after confronting Mr Pelosi - shouted "where is Nancy?".

Mrs Pelosi was in Washington, and not at the San Francisco residence, when the incident took place on Friday morning.

The husband of the Democratic politician, was taken to hospital and he is expected to make a full recovery.

"The Speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time," a spokesman for the senior Democrat said.

Her husband, the multimillionaire founder of a venture capital firm, resides primarily in San Francisco where he was born and raised.

The couple have been married since 1963 and have five children. Their combined net worth, primarily from Mr Pelosi's investments, has made the speaker one of the richest members of Congress.

The exact circumstances of the attack are unclear and it is not known how the intruder entered the couple's residence.

The FBI and the US Capitol Police, which has a field office in California, are assisting the San Francisco police with the investigation.

A senior administration official said the mandate expires Sunday at 12:01 a.m. EDT, saying the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that it’s no longer necessary. The official, speaking Friday on the condition of anonymity to preview the formal announcement, said that the agency would reevaluate the need for the testing requirement every 90 days and that it could be reinstated if a troubling new variant emerges. The Biden administration put in place the testing requirement last year, as it moved away from restrictions that banned nonessential travel from several dozen countries — most of Europe, China, Brazil, South Africa, India and Iran — and instead focuses on classifying individuals by the risk they pose to others.
