United States Capitol is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 8 productions, in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
“Six named Washington, D.C., locations (Jefferson Memorial, Library of Congress, National Gallery of Art, Statler Hotel, United States Capitol and the Watergate Steps, where Dawn and Verrall attend a then-regular outdoor summer concert of the National Symphony Orchestra ) were included in the shoot.”

“Filming took place on various streets in Washington, D.C., including the U Street Corridor, and at "practically every major landmark", including outside the headquarters of the World Bank on Pennsylvania Avenue, around Capitol Hill, at the Supreme Court building, outside the Library of Congress, and at the Washington Monument.” Wikipedia

Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in United States Capitol, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.

“The second level, along with the Darkside boss fight, takes place in Washington, D.C. in front of the United States Capitol.” Wikipedia
