The San Francisco District Attorney fought to keep the footage under seal.
.@BrookeJenkinsSF citing conspiracy theories to NOT release footage:"Given the widespread misinformation and conspiracy theories disseminated by mainstream and fringe media around this case already," it could "become a vehicle for improper purposes”

911 audio and police bodycam footage of the Paul Pelosi hammer attack was aired at David DePape’s preliminary hearing last month.
According to reports, David DePape entered the Pelosis’ San Francisco home in October in the middle of the night looking for Nancy Pelosi.
“[DePape] told officers and medics at the scene — “I’m sick of the insane f…ing level of lies coming out of Washington, D.C. I came here to have a little chat with his wife. I didn’t really want to hurt him, but you know this was a suicide mission. I’m not going to stand here and do nothing even if it cost me my life.”” CBS reported.
Things escalated and David DePape reportedly hit Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer.
Partial transcript of the audio was released by reporters.
