A new NBC Bay Area report is suggesting Paul Pelosi may not have been in immediate danger when police arrived to residence before the attack. The report states that Pelosi opened the door for police but didn’t attempt to declare an emergency, and even walked away from law enforcement and toward his eventual attacker. A similar story was written by national correspondent Miguel Almaguer before midterms but NBC scrubbed and “removed from publication because it did not meet NBC News reporting standards.”
In the new report, NBC Bay Area cites “a source familiar with the investigation who personally watched the police body camera footage from that night, knocked on the door of the Pelosi home, then backed away, and the video clearly shows Paul Pelosi open the door with his left hand.”
The report continues:
“The body cam video shows officers having a brief conversation with Pelosi and David DePape… before DePape starts beating Pelosi with a hammer,” Shaban reported. “We reached out to the Department of Justice for an explanation of its differing account of this seemingly innocuous issue of who opened the door, but so far, we have not heard back.”
