Seth Meyers is pretty sure Jared Kushner is 'the white Steve Harvey'

With the Russia investigation continuing to cast shadows over his administration, President Trump is trying to further his domestic agenda and drum up support for issues like tax reform, but with a special counsel reportedly "going for the kill," there's not much he can do to make things at the White House look good, Seth Meyers said on Wednesday's Late Night.

Just glancing at Special Counsel Robert Mueller should be enough to convince you he means business. "He looks like the police chief from every 1950s noir film," Meyers said. "He looks like he should be holding a bullhorn and shouting, 'You're surrounded, McMurphy.' … He doesn't even get haircuts, he just looks at his hair in the mirror and says, 'Get shorter.'" The federal probe has ensnared many key Trump aides, including his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who failed to disclose several meetings he had with Russians. The Wall Street Journal reported that members of Trump's legal team thought it would be best for Kushner to resign because of his many ties to Russia, but that's difficult for someone who's been tasked with basically saving the entire world.
