Protesters shouted "Free Palestine," "Free DC," and "Trump is Hitler" at the president and some members of his Cabinet while they were inside a Washington D.C. restaurant on Tuesday.
Videos circulated on social media of protesters shouting inside Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant, which is a quarter of a mile from the White House. At one point, President Donald Trump appeared to mock the group. Trump stops and cocks his head in their direction, but it is unclear if the president said anything to the protesters as he walked through the restaurant.
Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also dined with the president.
Outside, Trump answered questions from reporters about the Epstein letter and Israel's bombing campaign in Doha, Qatar.
Trump said he is "not thrilled" about Israel's strikes.
He also doubled down on his denial of the recently published birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein bearing his signature.
"That's not my signature, not the way I speak," Trump said.
