Ratajkowski also shared a photo from the protest outside the federal courthouse, claiming she too was arrested.

A "cloture vote" - which would limit further debate on the nomination - is expected on Friday morning, which means that a confirmation vote would likely take place on Saturday or on Sunday.

As the officer attempts to escort Schumer and another woman forward, the officer can be heard asking "You want to be arrested?" "I am terrified. I am here because I believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me while Brett Kavanaugh and I were in high school". Her message- anyone who votes for Kavanaugh is saying women don't matter.

Almost 300 protesters were arrested at a U.S. Senate building on Thursday afternoon as crowds of activists descended on Capitol Hill while lawmakers reviewed the FBI's report on the allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Schumer, who is related to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, previously posted details about the planned protest on her Instagram page, writing, "Let's march".

The protesters - including Amy Schumer - entered the Capitol Building at around 3:30 on Thursday afternoon.

Thousands attended the event on Thursday to protest Kavanaugh's nomination following an FBI investigation on the sexual assault allegation levied against him by Dr Christine Blasey Ford.

Director Michael Moore tweeted a picture of himself with Schumer and said he was "so proud" of her for taking part of the protest and "being detained by the Capitol Police". Amy was held in the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill, USA Today reported. In the video, she said, "Hi Zola, I'm here with your mom".

A video published by The Daily Caller's Benny Johnson shows Schumer volunteering to be arrested at the event.

Mr Kavanaugh, 53, a judge on the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals, denies any wrongdoing.
