No one has been arrested

Police officers in Washington were called this week to Mortonโ€™s Steakhouse in Washington, where Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was being harassed.

A call for service was lodged at approximately 8:55 p.m. on July 6, a Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.

โ€œIt appears some suspicious individuals were trying to enter the VIP room in the restaurant. I do not have confirmation on who those people in the VIP room were. The individuals fled the location prior to police arrival,โ€ the spokesperson said.

A police report is not yet available. But Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, left the District of Columbia location of the chain, which sits on Connecticut Avenue, around the same time, according to ShutDownDC, a protest group that summoned activists to the scene after receiving a tip he was there.

Mortonโ€™s referred comment to its parent company, Landryโ€™s, which did not respond to a request for comment.

A company representative told Politico that Kavanaugh was dining at the restaurant on Wednesday.

โ€œHonorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Mortonโ€™s restaurant,โ€ the spokesperson said. โ€œPolitics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency.โ€

A request for comment from Kavanaugh sent to the Supreme Court was not returned.

White House Weighs In
