A GROUP of people tied to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert were charged with unlawful entry at the US Capitol, according to reports.
The United States Capitol Police provided a statement to The US Sun regarding the June 16 incident.
“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," the statement begins.
“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.
“They were charged with Unlawful Entry. This is an active criminal investigation, and may result in additional criminal charges after consultation with the U.S. Attorney."
When asked if they could confirm whether the group was affiliated with The Late Show, the USCP declined to comment.
The group had been in the Cannon House Office Building earlier on Thursday attempting to get interviews during the time the January 6 hearing was taking place, FOX's Chad Pergram reports.
"Fox confirms that group of persons associated with The Late Show [with] Stephen Colbert were arrested last night and charged with illegal entry to House office buildings after hours," the reporter wrote on Twitter.
Pergram said that the group was sent away by USCP for not having proper press credentials.
However, the group later resurfaced and were spotted taking photos and video near the offices of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Lauren Boebert.
Pergram said the group was arrested near Boebert's office and released overnight.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert show airs weeknights at 11.35pm on CBS.
The show, broadcast from New York City, is led by executive producers Stephen Colbert, Chris Licht, Tom Purcell, and Jon Stewart.
