“Donald Trump is having more legal troubles, including his struggle to find lawyers to represent him. Of course, one possible reason lawyers don’t want to work for the ex-pres is that doing so puts them at the risk of being disbarred for breaking the law, and they don’t even get paid to break the law because the former president has a reputation for ignoring bills. Trump’s current legal team consists of a Florida insurance lawyer who’s never had a federal case, a former host at far-right One America News, and a past general counsel for a parking garage company. Please, Lord, I don’t ask for much, but please let this go to trial.” —Stephen Colbert
“Trump’s legal woes seem to be helping Democrats in the upcoming midterms, as the former president’s continued influence within the Republican party allows Democrats to frame the elections as a choice between normality and threatening extremism. Now that sounds like an easy decision, but have you seen what Americans eat? Given the choice, we always pick extreme – ‘Well, I was going to get a nice, healthy democracy, but if it’s only 75 cents more, give me the code-red fascist Baja Blast.’” —Stephen Colbert
“There are new details about the top-secret documents seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago last month, some of which pertained to classified US operations so closely guarded that many top national security officials were kept in the dark about them. In fairness, Trump was probably also kept in the dark about them. Technically, I guess they had to show him classified documents when he was president, but they probably distracted him the same way you give your kid an iPad on the airplane to shut him up.” —Seth Meyers
