U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., is demanding to know how shouting Code Pink protesters got so close the president of the United States in a D.C. restaurant Tuesday night as he dined with members of his Cabinet.
President Trump, who rarely dines out in D.C., made the visit to celebrate how the streets of the nation’s capital had become markedly safer since he sent in National Guard troops to help keep the peace.
But anti-Trump protesters were able to make a reservation for a table in the same room where administration officials were dining – at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab.
Luna posted on X: “Did someone leak the President’s location to the organization that showed up to protest him? Was this code pink? How are they allowed that close to him? Where was Secret Service and was there someone in Secret Service that leaked his location? This needs to be looked into.”

“We actually had a reservation, and got it pretty last-minute, and went in,” Code Pink organizer Olivia DiNucci told the Daily Beast. “We didn’t think they would be in such an open room – we thought he’d be in a different area – and we were placed really close to them.”
Luna and others first heard about the confrontation when Code Pink posted the video online. Protesters shouted: “Free D.C., Free Palestine. Trump is the Hitler of our time!”
