Best of late night.

From Conan O’Brien’s opening monologue last night on legal troubles for President Trump’s former attorney and campaign manager:

“People in the White House say that the President is being affected by this. It is being reported today by White House “insiders” that President Trump feels like the walls are closing in. When they heard this, Mexico stepped up and offered to help pay for those walls.”

“He had a big rally in West Virginia. During the rally President Trump rarely spoke about the legal cases, barely even mentioned them. Instead all he talked about was his Space Force. It’s starting to become pretty clear why Trump is so interested in a quick exit from the Earth.”

“Omarosa is weighing in on the President’s troubles, because we need to know what Omarosa is saying. In an interview yesterday, Omarosa said that the Michael Cohen plea deal is ‘the beginning of the end’ for President Trump. In response, Trump said ‘It is not. It is the middle of the end! Wait until you see the end!’”
