Nancy Pelosi is traumatised following an attack on her husband is their home.

Paul Pelosi underwent surgery to repair a skull fracture and other injuries after he was assaulted at his San Francisco home on Friday.

Thank you for your prayers for my husband and our family. -NP pic.twitter.com/tL8h8W0eUM
