Seth Meyers Rips Trump For Michael Cohen Admission: All Prosecutors Need ‘Is a Remote Control’
On Thursday night, Seth Meyers blasted President Trump for his phone-in appearance on Fox & Friends.
Meyers began by poking fun at how the president “rambled on for so long” that at one point Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy interjected and said they were “running out of time.”
“That was the first time in history that a TV show had to change its number because of a stalker,” Meyers quipped.
The Late Night host then addressed the newsworthy nugget from Trump’s interview when he admitted that his personal lawyer Michael Cohen did in fact represent him in the $130,000 payoff of porn star Stormy Daniels, who alleged she had an affair with him. The president had previously said he didn’t know anything about the payoff.
“Can you imagine Trump in court?” Meyers asked. “The prosecution wouldn’t even need to be there. He could just cross-examine himself.”
Meyers also focused on Trump’s remarks when he said that Cohen does only a “tiny, tiny little fraction” of his legal work. That specific comment was used two hours later by prosecutors for a court filing.
“Man, you picture prosecutors digging for evidence, now all they need is a remote control,” Meyers reacted. “I bet this morning, one of them said, ‘Hey, should we print out this brief?’ And the other one goes, ‘Eh, let’s hold off. He’s on TV. I bet he’s gonna say something.”
He then declared the “stupidest thing” Trump said during that interview was that he hadn’t gotten anything for First Lady Melania Trump for her birthday… except for maybe a “beautiful card” and flowers.”
“If you raided the White House right now, you might not find evidence of collusion with Russia… but you would definitely not find a card or flowers,” Meyers declared.
