Stephen Colbert launches 'Russia Week' with roast of Donald Trump Jr.
Pack your passports: It's "Russia Week" on The Late Show.
During Monday's monologue punctuated with the host theatrically removing his glasses for dramatic effect, Stephen Colbert skewered Donald Trump Jr. for his meeting with Russians who may have links to the Kremlin, including one described as a former Soviet counterintelligence officer.
"Of course, when it comes to Don Jr. there's not much intelligence to counter," Colbert joked, of his idea of a "store brand Billy Baldwin."
Colbert also saw the rise in reported attendance numbers for the meeting as an opportunity to make a quip.
"This is the first time a Trump has lied about having a smaller crowd size," he cracked, referencing President Trump's claim that the media misrepresented his inauguration crowd size.
