1/ San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins sat down w/ us for a wide-ringing, one-on-one interview, her first since the election.
We spoke about the criticism she's facing, the Paul Pelosi attack, & her plans to end "lawlessness."

Let's break it down.
@nbcbayarea
2/ Jenkins says as DA, "all crime" is now considered illegal in San Francisco.

She says her predecessor Chesa Boudin (recalled by voters in June) ordered staff not to pursue charges for quality of life crimes (i.e. graffiti), resisting arrest, & certain assaults against cops.
3/ We contacted former District Attorney Chesa Boudin to get his response to Jenkins' criticism of his office.

I reached him by phone.

He answered.

I identified myself.

Then, Boudin hung up.
4/ We also spoke to Jenkins about criticism over her integrity. She said she "volunteered" for recall campaign against Boudin, but 1 day after Mayor named Jenkins as Boudin's replacement, Jenkins disclosed she was a paid consultant ($100,000+) for a group w/close ties to recall.
5/ Filings show the nonprofit that paid Jenkins, "NEIGHBORS FOR A BETTER SAN FRANCISCO," is registered to the exact same address as the similarly named group, "NEIGHBORS FOR A BETTER SAN FRANCISCO ADVOCACY COMMITTEE," which funded the recall campaign against Chesa Boudin.
6/ We asked Jenkins about the recent revelation that just days before quitting DA's office & joining recall effort, she sent sensitive criminal files to the personal email of a fellow prosecutor, who was also about to quit & join recall.

"I did nothing illegal or improper."
7/ The brutal attack on Paul Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, has garnered tons of conspiracy theories, so we asked Jenkins to shed light on what actually happened, including why Paul Pelosi didn't run out of his home after he was able to open the door for police.
8/ While Jenkins admits systemic change won't be swift, she believes San Franciscans are now demanding a DA who can enact progressive policies to *both* reform a broken criminal justice system *and* incorporate accountability for those convicted of crimes.
@nbcbayarea
9/ Jenkins maintains the lead in her race to remain SF's top prosecutor, however, 100,000+ ballots still need to be tallied in SF (about 40% of the total votes cast).

Jenkins, convinced ranked-choice voting will ultimately give her a majority, has already claimed victory.
10/10

1) Hit-and-run in San Francisco hurls pedestrian into the air, tossing her onto path of oncoming driverless Cruise car, which then runs her over.

Officials couldn't find witnesses, but Cruise car had cameras rolling.

I got access to the video. Here's what I saw.

@nbcbayarea
2) Accident happened at about 9:30pm Monday near 5th & Market streets in downtown SF. Driverless Cruise vehicle & other sedan were traveling side-by-side, southbound on 5th St, according to video recorded by Cruise car that was later shown to me.

3) The roughly 20 second clip showed the entirety of the accident as well as the moments leading up to it. The video begins with both vehicles stopped at a red light. Once the traffic light turns green, both vehicles continue south along Fifth Street.

I’m inside the San Francisco courtroom for David DeDape’s preliminary hearing - the man accused of breaking into Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home and beating her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer.

#Here’s what he’s facing:
2/ David DePape is in the courtroom in an orange jumpsuit, with long hair down to his shoulders.

They just played the 911 call made by Paul Pelosi the night of the attack.

@nbcbayarea
3/

***911 call***

Pelosi: I got a problem but he thinks everything is good…

This gentlemen came into my house and he wants to wait for my wife…

He told me not to do anything…

He’s telling me to put the phone down and do what he says…

1/ San Francisco wants to open “supervised injection sites,” where people can use illegal drugs under care of trained staff.

Goal is reduce overdose deaths, but fed. govt deems sites illegal.

Even at state level, Gov. Newsom vetoed plan to open sites on trial basis.
@nbcbayarea
2/ What do supervised injection sites look like and how do they work?

They’ve been utilized for decades abroad, so a couple of years ago, we traveled to Vancouver to see the sites for ourselves:
3/ How do drug users describe the impact of supervised injection sites?

Listen to these two emotional interviews:

Stephanie Peterson used a supervised injection site in Canada.

Tiffany Falstich, homeless and addicted to heroin, spoke about her hope for a similar center in SF.

1/
#Scoop: Two major law enforcement agencies investigating #Pelosi attack can't agree on who opened the door once San Francisco police arrived:

Dept. of Justice:
"The 2 officers opened the door..."

SF DA's Office:
"Mr. Pelosi opened the door with his left hand..."
@nbcbayarea
2/
A source familiar w/ the investigation, who personally watched the police body camera video, tells us SF DA's office got it right, adding that the video shows police knocking the door, then backing away. Door then opens from the inside and you can see Paul Pelosi opening it.
3/
Does who opened the door matter? We have no reason to believe it does, but with so many conspiracy theories already swirling online, contradicting stories from investigators are only fueling falsehoods.
DOJ & DA's office did not respond to our request for comment.
