It’s the legal equivalent of being on hold with the cable company and going ‘representative! representative!’ (Yellowranch)

There have been a bevy of Donald Trump legal developments to process, starting with his federal trial for inciting the January 6 insurrection, in which he faces 91 felony charges. Trump’s lawyers have tried to avoid a trial by claiming that he has complete immunity from criminal prosecution for any alleged crimes committed in office. Come on, the president can’t be free to commit any crime they want in office. The judge in that case ruled against Trump, but his lawyers appealed the ruling, which could delay the trial indefinitely. Enter the special counsel Jack Smith, who on Monday asked the supreme court to decide on whether Trump has any immunity from criminal prosecution. He wants to completely skip the appeals process.

Trump better hope he has immunity, because it sounds like Smith has a whole lot of evidence, such as extracted and reviewed data from Trump’s phone. Can you imagine being the witness who has to go through all of the data on Donald Trump’s phone? The data reportedly reveals details of Trump’s final weeks in office, including his daily movements and Twitter habits. And we all know his Twitter habits happen in the same room as his daily movements. —Stephen Colbert

There was an apparent gaffe by President Biden, when he accidentally referred to the Marine One presidential helicopter as “Air Force Helicopter One”. You know what? I don’t even think that’s a gaffe. I think once you get to a certain age, you don’t care what stuff is called any more. It’s the same reason your dad calls Yellowstone ‘Yellowranch’. He doesn’t care! —Seth Meyers
