74 protesters charged at Capitol in protest of Kavanaugh [View all]
Source: The Hill
Capitol Police charged 74 people on Wednesday in connection with a protest in the Senate office building against President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.
A spokeswoman for Capitol Police said the individuals were charged with crowding, obstructing, or incommoding, all of which are prohibited under D.C. Code § 22–1307.
Dozens of protesters filtered into the Senate office building on Wednesday and lined the hallways outside senators' offices in an attempt to stop Republican senators from meeting with Kavanaugh.
An organizer initially declared they were successful in blocking the meetings on Twitter, but later deleted the tweet after the White House and multiple lawmakers confirmed that the meetings occurred.
