David DePape attacked her husband at the home of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
The charges of attempted murder were not indicted, and charges of assault and attempted kidnapping were filed by federal prosecutors.
The Ministry of Justice said the punishment could be severe, up to 50 years in prison.
The investigation revealed the cause of the crime.
The indictment included the perpetrator’s statement, saying, “Chairman Pelosi would have broken his knee if he lied.”

The criminal is said to have a list of targets for attack, so there was also the circumstance that he was planning another crime.
The US media blames the incident on the Republican Party’s campaign to ‘vilify’ Pelosi.

Former President Donald Trump, who has made an agreement with Pelosi, has called the incident “terrible”, but insisted that security in San Francisco and Chicago is worse than in Afghanistan.
It is believed that he continued the attack on the Democratic Party before the mid-term elections in November by discussing the security of the two cities where the Democratic Party is mayor.
