“Late Night” host Seth Meyers used his “A Closer Look” segment to dive into former President Donald Trump’s legal issues in New York and Florida, speculating that he was “troubleshooting” in “constitutional scholars”. referred to as a load”. ,
On Thursday night’s show, the NBC star first addressed New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit against Trump and his three adult children, with a clip accusing the Ag family of “violating multiple state criminal laws.” was showing, including falsifying business records, issuing false financial statements, insurance fraud and engaging in conspiracy to violate the law of each of these states.”
With such a long list, Meyers suggested that “it would be easier to list the crimes committed by Trump.”
“I mean, as far as we know, he hasn’t broken any maritime law,” Meyers joked. “Although we say that now and then, like a week, audio will come out of Trump trying to bribe a seal to prove the election plagiarized.”

“Trump told Hannity that he thinks you can declare a top secret document declassified—inside your own head,” Meyers said, playing a clip, “if you’re the President of the United States.” So, you can declassify. Just saying it’s unclassified, even thinking about it.”
