According to reports, on early Thursday morning, Elena Kagan was present at the waiting lounge of the Washington D.C.

Eyewitnesses present at the court later revealed to media outlets that after Elena Kagan was not selected for the jury, she spent a while at the waiting lounge talking to people who were able to recognize her before leaving the court.
