NBC journalist Miquel Almaguer reported on The Today Show {Rumble Link} that Paul Pelosi opened the door, didn’t declare an emergency….. and then walked back to his attacker and was attacked. The report by Almaguer contradicted the FBI probable cause statement as written. NBC immediately scrubbed the Almaguer report after broadcast and then suspended journalist Miquel Almaguer.
However, now that the midterm election is over, NBC Bay Area reporter Bigad Shaban did some further research, talking directly to police sources who reviewed the body cam footage. Mr. Shaban confirmed the details of the original NBC reporting by Miguel Almaguer on November 4th that led to his suspension. Something sketchy is going on here.
(Via NBC) – […] Police body camera video that captured the attack on Paul Pelosi, and the moments leading up to it, contradict one of the details included in the Department of Justice’s account of what happened that evening, according to a source familiar with the Pelosi investigation who personally viewed the body camera footage and spoke to the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit.
In recent days, the Department of Justice and the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office have outlined differing accounts of who opened the door when police responded to Pelosi’s 911 call. (read more with video report)
