Seth Meyers Perfectly Sums Up The Devin Nunes-Trump-Russia Scandal
Seth Meyers took on the Nunes-Trump-Russia scandal in his “A Closer Look” segment Thursday night.
Meyers opened by saying, “Hanging over everything Trump does is the ongoing Russia investigation, and in the House, the investigation is lead by the Republican chairman of the intelligence committee Devin Nunes, who has basically done everything he can to delay or interfere with his own investigation—raising the question of whether he is investigating Trump, or working for Trump.”
Meyers then played a clip of Republican Congressman Ted Yoho, who on Thursday morning said in an interview that Congressman Nunes, “works for the President, he answers to the President.”
“No, you don’t!” Meyers shouted. “Congress does not work for the president! If Congress always did what the president told them to do, this guy would not have left office looking like this” Meyers said showing a photo of Obama looking tired.
Meyers then addressed today’s news that three senior White House officials handed the info to Nunes.
“That means Nunes went to the White House to brief Trump from information he got from the White House,” said Meyers. “It’s like when you send yourself an email reminder and two minutes later go, ‘Oh, a new email!’”
