House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said her husband, Paul, is recovering slowly from being hammered by an assailant in his San Francisco home in October.
Mrs. Pelosi, a California Democrat who is retiring from leadership at the end of this Congress, thanked supporters for their well wishes, adding that Paul’s recovery is expected to “take a while.”
“He’s coming along. He’s going to take a while. Head injuries have an impact beyond surgery,” Mrs. Pelosi said at her weekly press conference Thursday.
Mr. Pelosi was allegedly attacked by 42-year-old David DePape, who hit him over the head with a hammer after breaking into the couple’s home.
