As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News offers the following information published by TheHill.com:
Protesters greeted President Trump as he returned from his summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland, on Monday, with dozens gathering outside the White House and yelling “traitor” late into the night.
The impromptu protest, dubbed #OccupyLafayettePark, came after Trump’s controversial press conference with Putin. During the joint presser, Trump refused to denounce Russia’s 2016 election meddling and said both countries were to blame for the current low point in U.S.-Russia relations.
The article goes on to state the following:
The protesters on Monday had gathered outside the White House just as the president was returning from his meeting abroad.
Video and photos from the rally show protesters chanting “Putin’s puppet” and “traitor” and carrying signs that read “liar.”
It is unclear how many people joined the protest, though people in attendance said there were “hundreds” who came on last-minute notice for the rally.
A second protest is planned for Tuesday night.
According to posts on Twitter, Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro showed up to participate in the protest Monday night, and Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, is set to jump join the Tuesday night protest.

Tuesday: Day 2 of #OccupyLafayettePark at the White House. 7 PM with @MichaelAvenatti. Hundreds came out with just a couple hours notice tonight. Come out, spread the word, and lean on groups you support to blast out the information. This is insanity. Hold him accountable.
