House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) received an apology from Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) over comments he made about the attack on her husband.
Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman first reported on the matter.

According to The Washington Post, Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill confirmed she received the letter and that it was postmarked on November 1.
He reportedly did not provide any additional details, but said the House speaker had accepted the apology.
A spokeswoman for Youngkin released a statement on behalf of the governor on Wednesday, via text message, as the Post reported.
She said the statement was from a TV interview that had not aired yet.
“My full intention on my comments was to categorically state that violence and the kind of violence that was perpetrated against Speaker Pelosi’s husband is not just unacceptable, it’s atrocious. And I didn’t do a great job with that. And so listen, it was a personal note and it was one between me and the speaker, just to reflect those sentiments,” the statement read.
