A fire broke out at the Comet Ping Pong pizza restaurant in Washington at 9 p.m. on Jan. 24, according to WJLA.
The restaurant gained nationwide fame after a man broke into the establishment with a gun in December 2016 acting on a conspiracy theory triggered by the release of thousands of emails stolen from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. The theory, since named “Pizzagate,” alleged that Comet Ping Pong and nearby restaurants engaged in child-sex trafficking and other grave crimes involving high-level government officials.
