When Pelosi opened the door, body cam footage clearly showed both men holding on to the hammer. The police ordered the men to let go of the hammer (which is clearly heard on the body cam footage. The body cam footage runs until they secure the perp. Pelosi is laying on the floor the entire time after being hit with the hammer. The reporter claimed Pelosi walked back in when he was pulled back in because he had a hold of the hammer. Pelosi tried to alert police without directly telling the 911 operator because the perp had told him to put the phone down.
This wasn't a scoop. You don't get promoted for being early with incorrect information. There wasn't additional footage shown by NBC. The story itself was a clip on nbc. The story is from
November. The body cam footage was just released recently.

Paul Pelosi Body-Cam Footage Largely Vindicates NBC News Reporter Suspended for Retracted Report
https://www.thewrap.com/paul-pelosi-...bodycam-video/
interesting! most reporters with a scoop like this get promoted and win news awards. yet Almaguer was suspended, because the powers that be didn't want the cam video released. it took a court order to release it. yet every time some suspect resists arrest the "edited" footage is plastered all over the interwebs.can't show the "suspect" resisting arrest! not a good look for BLM!!!
someone in the SF police dept who had seen the video leaked the details to Almaguer and his recounting was largely correct. Not according to the links provided by twk

BLM? Give me a break. The suspect wasn't black. It was somewhat correct. It was incorrect on some key information especially what happened in the foyer. The 2 responding officers easily subdued the suspect. The prosecutor was worried the clips might keep the defendant from getting a fair trial. The judge disagreed and released the audio and body cam video. The reporter was suspended because his story had incorrect facts.
From the link provided by twk.
"Which, to be fair, may have been very much true at the time." (Wrong. It wasn't true at the time. That's why it was pulled)
Almaguer’s original reporting did not indicate that he, or anyone at NBC News, had seen the footage; though it did at one point cite “court documents,” the report did not specify whether those documents had been obtained by NBC, or if its details from court records were being relayed second-hand.
After the story was pulled in November, a person with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap: “The decision was made to remove the segment after it was determined, shortly after it aired, that the main source for the information was unreliable regarding the question of the circumstances that the police encountered when they arrived at the house, specifically what the police saw and how far the attacker was from the door.”
Typical trumpys missing information in a story and replacing it with their version of those facts.
Winn d claimed footage was confiscated and that the reporter was fired. Both claims completely wrong. Reporter is back from suspension (December) and there was no footage from incident available at the time the story was published.
