Last week, Kyle Rittenhouse trial judge Bruce Schroeder said that someone filmed the jurors when they were picked up by the bus that morning.
Julio Rosas ~ Judge Schroeder reveals someone filmed the Kyle Rittenhouse jurors when they were picked up by the bus this morning. Schroeder said deputies made the person delete the video and added more steps will be taken to prevent something like that from happening again.
Apparently such problems have persisted. According to Judge Schroeder today, Kenosha police reported that someone claiming to work for MSNBC followed the jurors’ bus last night:

What the hell is going on?
Jiovanni Lieggi ~ This comes after a man claiming to be a producer working for NBC & MSNBC was instructed to follow the jury bus in the #Rittenhouse trial.
Police are further investigating this incident.
Nicholas Fondacaro ~ BREAKING: Judge Schroeder bans MSNBC from the Rittenhouse trial after a possible doxxing attempt by a crazy producer, James G. Morrison, was caught following the jury bus transporting them away from the courthouse. Morrison blew through a red light trying to keep up with the bus.
Joe Concha ~ Man claims to be James T. Morrison of MSNBC. He says he was under orders to follow and photograph the jury, per the judge.
Under orders? Under whose orders?
Andrew Havranek ~ Schroeder said the man who identified himself as "James J. Morrison," a producer with @MSNBC said was instructed by "Irene Byon"
A quick search of her name shows she's a booking producer with @NBCNews.
For the record:
Angenette Levy ~ Judge Schroeder is going to make a statement this morning about an arrest being made by Kenosha PD after a #KyleRitthenhouse juror/jurors were followed by someone who claimed to work for NBC or MSNBC. Those outlets apparently say the person does not work for them. @LawCrimeNetwork
Seriously, what the hell is going on?
Nathan Wurtzel ~ NBC News, once again covering itself in glory.
This will be ignored.
We can’t let this be ignored.
Oilfield Rando ~ Remember when everybody hit the fainting couches when Trump called them the enemy of the people?
The Partyman ~ Everyday "all journos to gitmo" becomes less tongue-in-cheek.
Calling the media "the enemy of the people" was not Trump's mistake.
His mistake was not treating them as such.

Update
NBC News has issued a statement regarding the incident:
Brian Stelter ~ NBC News statement: "Last night, a freelancer received a traffic citation. While the traffic violation took place near the jury van, the freelancer never contacted or intended to contact the jurors during deliberations, and never photographed or intended to photograph them" (1/2)
Oh. Well. In that case, nothing to see here!
Brian Stelter ~ "We regret the incident and will fully cooperate with the authorities on any investigation," NBC adds (2/2)
Sorry, but NBC’s got a lot more explaining to do.
KM-&0 ~ LMAO. He told the officer who he was and that he was instructed to take photos of the jurors by his producer ...
Frosty ~ Never "contacted" or intended to "contact." Never "photographed" or intended to "photograph."
This is a murky denial. This freelancer could have been on assignment to GATHER INFORMATION on jurors without contacting or photographing them.
Speaking of murky, is the guy actually a freelancer? Or an employee?
Ed Morrissey ~ UPDATE: Kenosha News reports that the NBC affiliate in Chicago has confirmed that the suspect is an NBC employee.
If this was just a case of a freelancer gone rogue, why did Irene Byon delete her social media accounts?
Andy Ngô ~ NBC producer Irene Min Joo Byon has deleted her social media accounts. A journalist suspected of trying to photograph the jurors said Byon was his producer at MSNBC. The network has been banned from the courthouse for the remainder of #Rittenhouse trial.
Start explaining, NBC.
