The "Say Anything" star was eyed by reporters in between chats with several lawmakers, including Rep. Ro Khanna

"Rep. Khanna is friends with John. He came by to catch up. [The] two share common views on progressive values and chatted about the work of Arundhati Roy," a spokeswoman said.
Reps for Nadler didn't get back to us about Cusack's visit.
But the entertainer — a vocal critic of Trump who's called him "dangerous" and "unhinged" — documented much of his day on the Hill, including what he described as an elevator ride with some proponents of the commander in chief.
