Every time a new detail about President Donald Trump's friendship with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein emerges, the story gets worse and worse. But when all the recent developments are laid out together, it's on another level.
In the clip above from Late Night, Seth Meyers takes "A Closer Look" at all the recent developments, from Trump being bombarded by questions about Epstein during his trip to Scotland to Trump making things worse with every attempt to defend himself during press conferences.
"The reason why this controversy is hitting so close to home and rattling Trump's MAGA base is that they cast themselves as warriors against the elites," says Meyers, "but it turns out they elected an elite who's covering up for other elites."
