Seth Meyers breaks down Trump and Giuliani's latest damning gibberish about the Ukraine scandal
Watch Next

Seth Meyers straight-up calls for Donald Trump's impeachment in "A Closer Look", a segment that strings together moment after moment of Donald Trump and his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, incoherently denying, admitting to, defending, and denying-but-also-defending that infamous call with the Ukrainian president.

Meyers tries (and fails) to makes sense of Giuliani's story in his bonkers, shouty interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo, and also tracks how Trump's excuses and explanations to the press shifted over the course of the weekend.

"So he went from 'It doesn't matter what I discussed' to 'I don't wanna talk about it' to 'We talked about Biden' to 'It was a perfect conversation' to 'If I did talk about Biden then I'd have the right to talk about Biden' to 'I didn't pressure anyone'.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe you should let Rudy step in here."
