Members of a production team for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" were arrested by US Capitol Police in a congressional office building Thursday night and charged with unlawful entry.

"On June 16, 2022, at approximately 8:30 p.m., U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) received a call for a disturbance in the Longworth House Office Building. Responding officers observed seven individuals, unescorted and without Congressional ID, in a sixth-floor hallway," Capitol Police said in a statement Friday night.

"The building was closed to visitors, and these individuals were determined to be a part of a group that had been directed by the USCP to leave the building earlier in the day," the statement continued.

CBS confirmed in a statement to CNN that on Wednesday and Thursday "Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was on-site at the Capitol with a production team to record interviews for a comedy segment on behalf of" the show.

They could have requested permission to film in the areas they wanted to.

8. That's interesting, as I thought I read CBS said that had authorisation.

If they didn't, well, they'll have to take what's coming (which won't be much, more than likely).

9. Apparently CBS says they had permission.

5. I saw today

They were interviewing Rep Shift and had permission to be there. However the comedy routine was not appropriate given what we are learning.
