Late-night comedians feasted on news that the FBI raided the office of President Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen after he admitted to paying adult film actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 before the 2016 election. Daniels claims the money was meant to keep her quiet about an alleged affair she had with the president in 2006.
“Today on a tip from Mueller, the F.B.I. raided Cohen’s office, ‘seizing records related to several topics, including payments to a pornographic film actress,’” Stephen Colbert said. “They got everything: They got all of his information about porn in a folder marked ‘finances,’ and all of his information about finances in a folder marked ‘porn.’”
Trevor Noah made fun of CNN’s “breaking news violinist,” then cracked: “It’s just nice knowing that, in 20 years, teachers won’t be able to give a history lesson without explaining what a pornographic actress is.”
Jimmy Kimmel didn’t stay out of it either, despite issuing an apology on Sunday to Fox News host Sean Hannity after the two had a public feud following a parody on Kimmel’s show of the First Lady’s accent.
“They raided his office; they also raided his house and his hotel room,” Kimmel said. “He has a house and a hotel room? Why? The fact that the guy who pays off porn stars has a hotel room is, to me, a red flag.”
Take a look at the clips below.
