Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed what President Donald Trump and his Cabinet members, including Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio ate at their eventful dinner out on Tuesday night. Visiting Joe’s Seafood in Washington, D.C., for what was Trump’s first visit as president to a D.C. restaurant not located inside a Trump hotel, Leavitt told CNN that Trump and his dining partners “enjoyed crab, shrimp, salad, steak, and dessert.” She added, “The food was phenomenal and the service was fantastic. Thank you Joe’s!” Trump’s dinner was interrupted by Code Pink protesters, who spoke to the Daily Beast about how they were able to confront him inside the restaurant. Organizer Olivia DiNucci revealed that they managed to get a last-minute reservation and were surprised to discover Trump and his Cabinet members dining in the main part of the restaurant. “We thought it was just going to be Trump, we didn’t know that it was all of his Cabinet, and 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,” DiNucci explained.
