TV crew charged in Capitol Hill incident, authorities say
Seven people were charged after a disturbance was reported Thursday night at the Longworth House Office Building, the U.S. Capitol Police said Friday in a statement.
The people were part of a group that had been directed by police to leave the building earlier in the day, the statement said.
A statement from CBS said: “Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was on-site at the Capitol Wednesday and Thursday with a production team to record interviews for a comedy segment” on behalf of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
[Triumph may not have been there; it looks like this was a skeleton crew left behind to film some additional material who overstayed their welcome. But I need that headline.]
ETA: per the Hollywood Reporter, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was indeed among those arrested.
