"The Constitution gives the accused the right to remain silent. And clearly Donald Trump has never read the Constitution, because he will not shut the ol' hamburger hole."

On Thursday's episode of The Late Show, host Stephen Colbert touched on Donald Trump's recent admission that he wants the Ukraine to investigate his political rival Joe Biden — the very allegation that kicked off the whole impeachment inquiry.

"Trump knows if something's bad you don't admit it in public," said Colbert in a valiant attempt to follow the president's train of thought. "So if he admits it in public, it must not be bad."
