The files were ordered released after a coalition of media organizations, including The Press Democrat, filed a motion in court arguing for transparency in the case.

One of the audio clips is from Paul Pelosi’s 911 call, in which the suspect, David DePape, can be heard on the line. The second clip is from DePape’s interview with police.

The videos are from a security camera in Pelosi’s home and from the body-worn cameras of police at the scene.

DePape is accused of forcing his way into Pelosi’s home shortly before 2 a.m. with a hammer and zip ties and demanding to see his wife, who was in Washington at the time.

Police say he used the hammer to strike Paul Pelosi in the head, fracturing his skull.
