Paul Pelosi was able to alert cops to the crazed hammer intruder who had broken into his and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's house by speaking in code, sources say.
Mr Pelosi had dialled 911 but couldn't speak to the operator in case it alerted the attacker.
Instead he spoke to the attacker giving enough detail so the officer on the other end of the line could overhear and understand something was wrong.
