Original Note:
The claim is that the sample tested contained DNA in addition to RNA. DNA, particularly delivered by a plasmid, could indeed replicate in the nucleus. https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Plasmid#:~:text=A%20plasmid%20is%20a%20small,chromosomal%20DNA%20and%20replicate%20independently. Plasmid DNA is used in mRNA vaccine production, so it is possible that a vaccine lot could be contaminated with it. https://www.trilinkbiotech.com/blog/plasmids-part-2-perfecting-plasmid-production-for-ivt-mrna-manufacturing/
