The Texas Democrat was parking his car near his home in the Navy Yard area, close to the Capitol, when he was ambushed Monday night. “Luckily, he was not harmed and is working with local law enforcement,” his spokesman Jacob Hochberg said. “Thank you to Metro PD and Capitol Police for their swift action and for recovering the Congressman’s vehicle.”
