US house speaker Nancy Pelosi says she is 'heartbroken and traumatised' after a violent intruder broke into her home and attacker her husband with a hammer.
It was revealed earlier that the suspect appeared to have made racist and often rambling posts online, including some that echoed QAnon conspiracy theories.
Stepfather Gene DePape said the suspect had lived with him in Canada until he was 14 and had been a quiet boy. "In 2007, I tried to get in touch but his girlfriend hung up on me when I asked to talk to him," Gene DePape said.David DePape was known in Berkeley as a pro-nudity activist who had picketed naked at protests against local ordinances requiring people to be clothed in public.
An August 24 entry, titled Q, displayed a scatological collection of memes that included photos of the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and made reference to QAnon, the baseless pro-Trump conspiracy theory that espouses the belief that the country is run by a deep state cabal of child sex traffickers, satanic paedophiles and baby-eating cannibals.
