Late-Night TV Hosts Scorch Trump Over Mueller Report
The release of the redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report into Russia interference in the 2016 election and possible Trump campaign collusion was the hot topic on Thursday’s late-night TV shows.
Seth Meyers, the host of NBC’s “Late Night,” likened President Donald Trump’s portrayal in the report to that of a “terrible boyfriend who keeps giving mixed messages.”
The show also shared this edited GIF from Attorney General William Barr’s press conference ahead of the report’s release:
