Nine people associated with Stephen Colbert's show on CBS have been arrested after allegedly illegally entered a U.S. House of Representatives office building on Thursday night.
"On June 16, 2022, at approximately 8:30 p.m., U.S. Capitol Police 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. 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 says.
A spokesperson for CBS told Fox News that Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was on-site at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and Thursday to record interviews for a comedy segment on behalf of"The Late Show," and said the interviews were authorized and pre-arranged with Congressional aides. The spokesperson said that members of the production team stayed to"film stand-ups" and other comedy elements in the halls when they were detained.
