So did Russians help President Donald Trump get elected or not? 

According to Trump they did. But then again, they didn't. 

After special counsel Robert Mueller's news conference this week (during which he reiterated that his team did not fully clear Trump of obstruction), the president stated via tweet that Russia helped him get elected. But when speaking with journalists, he stated that election interference didn't catapult him to the White House. What did? Trevor Noah explains in today's Best of Late Night, above. 

And does this week's emphasis on obstruction from Mueller mean that a path to presidential impeachment is clear? Democratic candidates are calling for it more loudly now than ever. And of course Trump is fighting back, but in a way that's not entirely logical. Noah points out Trump's definition problem. And Jimmy Kimmel takes a look at the "dirty, filthy, disgusting" truth of it.
