Federal prosecutors drop charges against colbertlateshow team members arrested at Capitol
A production team involved with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which airs on CBS, had been charged with unlawful entry and had a court date set for this week after being arrested by Capitol Police while filming segments for cigar-smoking puppet Triumph the Insult Comic Dog handled by comedian Robert Smigel.
"The United States Capitol Police has been working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia on the June 16, 2022, Unlawful Entry case that involved a group of nine people associated with The Late Show," the U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement Monday. The arrests took place on June 16. The production team was there to conduct interviews with Reps. Adam Schiff and Stephanie Murphy , who both serve on the Jan. 6 committee, which held a hearing that day, as well as with Rep. Jake Auchincloss , who is not a member of the panel, the Washington Examiner previously reported.
The team was let back into the House office buildings by an Auchincloss aide sometime after 4:30 p.m, according to Fox News, which said it was told the Auchincloss staffer was informed that the crew had more interviews to conduct.
