Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Mr Pelosi, 82, was left with a fractured skull and serious injuries to his right arm and hands.
The suspect is said to have demanded to see Mrs Pelosi after breaking into the San Francisco home.
President Joe Biden saw the attack as political and called it "despicable".
A 42-year-old man has been arrested on charges including attempted homicide. No motive is known.
Mrs Pelosi - who was on the other side of the country in Washington DC at the time of the assault - flew back to see her husband in hospital.
A spokesman for the senior Democrat said Mr Pelosi had been attacked in the early hours of Friday morning "by an assailant who acted with force, and threatened his life while demanding to see the Speaker".
Police said a motive for Friday’s intrusion was still to be determined, but three people with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press that DePape targeted Pelosi’s home. Those people were not authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing probe and spoke on condition of anonymity.
