If you're feeling at all left behind by the news of Trump's Ukraine call log and possible impeachment, fear not — Seth Meyers has got you covered.

During his "A Closer Look" segment on Late Night, Meyers broke down everything that has happened so far, analysing the call memo released on Wednesday and Trump's various, confusing attempts to discuss the issue in press conferences.

"In an official call with the president of another country he literally brought up Joe Biden, Rudy Giuliani, and said the words, 'I would like you to do us a favor,'" Meyers says. "It doesn't get more obvious than that."
