Posted June 26, 2019 1:00 am
A Fulton Market restaurant employee was taken into Secret Service custody Tuesday after she was alleged to have spit on Eric Trump, the 35-year-old son of President Donald Trump.
The incident happened about 8:30 p.m. at The Aviary restaurant, 955 W. Fulton Market.
"It was purely a disgusting act by somebody who clearly has emotional problems." Eric Trump told the right-wing website Breitbart News. "For a party that preaches tolerance, this once again demonstrates they have very little civility."
The Aviary issued a statement Wednesday morning and said the employee had been placed on leave.
