'Protect Mueller' Protest Held At Rep. Fitzpatrick's Office

Protestors advocating for the protection of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller in the wake of Attorney General Jeff Sessions' departure held a Thursday evening event outside of Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick's office.

The 5 p.m. protest was held at Fitzpatrick's office, located off the Newtown Bypass at Routes 413 and 332. There was also a protest held in Doylestown.

Here are some photos from the scene of the protest at Fitzpatrick's office:

The protest comes a day after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced he is leaving the administration at the request of President Donald Trump.

Sessions, a Trump ally who threw his weight behind the president in the 2016 election, recused himself in March 2017 from the probe investigating Russian interference in the presidential election and possible collusion by members of the Trump campaign. Sessions' deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, appointed Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller to oversee the probe in May 2017 after Trump fired then-FBI director James Comey.
