The district attorney leading the two-time impeachment investigation of President Trump for overturning the 2020 election results in Georgia revealed this week that potential indictments in the case are “imminent.” And while Seth Meyers is excited to see what might happen, he has a hunch that Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani may be too good to be leveling actual conspiracy allegations.
During his “A Closer Look” segment on Wednesday, Meyers pulled up a news clip from August 2022, when Giuliani actually testified as part of the investigation, in which “Today” reporters noted that the DA had at the time It was said that the charges for the lawyer could range from robbery to conspiracy.
While the late-night host thinks they are chargeable, he worries that they won’t last simply because Giuliani isn’t stealthily great.
“Fraud makes sense. Conspiracy does too. But it might be hard to sell to a jury, because Rudy is so bad at conspiracy,” joked Meyers. “He literally puts offensive texts on TV. He meets shady characters at cigar bars – and then takes pictures. ‘Remember guys, we never had this conversation. Now, how about a quick pic? , so that we never forget it?’”
Meyers offered his sympathies to those listening to Giuliani’s testimony throughout the case, saying that although the attorney spoke for six hours, it probably felt like 12 hours, poking fun at the fact that Giuliani Found that he was wearing two watches Camera during testimony
But, as with the possible charges, Meyers was dealt a major blow by Trump’s own response.
The late-night host mocked the twice-impeached former president’s “tailspin” on Truth Social, questioning why no one called him in real time, or even hung up on him directly, If his call to Georgia’s secretary of state — during which, you’ll recall, Trump asked Brad Raffensperger to “find” the roughly 12,000 votes cast for Trump to swing the election in his favor — was actually a problem.
“I love their reasoning: ‘If I was so mad, how come they didn’t hang up on me?’ Because you were the f—ing president, man!” Meyers joked. “I know it’s crazy, but it totally happened.”
