Capitol Police Arrest Protesters Outside GOP Offices

People left the U.S. Capitol in handcuffs Wednesday afternoon after gathering outside GOP senators' offices to protest the Republican Party's healthcare efforts.

It was not clear how many people were arrested, but videos from the scene showed U.S. Capitol Police placing flexcuffs on people and escorting them out.
