A protestor reportedly threw a Russian flag at Jared Kushner and asked him to sign it as he left Capitol Hill Monday following his closed-door testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

In the video above, you can hear a protestor identified by multiple outlets as Ryan Clayton, shout at Kushner as he departed his session with the Committee.

“Will you sign my Russian flag?” Clayton said. “Sign my Russian flag.”

Kushner did not turn around or acknowledge Clayton in any way. He continued walking, accompanied by his attorneys and a pair of Capitol Police agents. They left the building, and Kushner is said to be en route to the White House, where he is scheduled to give a statement following his testimony.

CNN’s Manu Raju reports that Clayton actually threw flag at Kushner as well, in addition to shouting at him.
