Saturday Night Live said its farewells to ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions (played by Kate McKinnon as a wily little marsupial) with a musical sketch featuring a slew of Trump-world characters, but not President Trump himself. The president's absence, alas for the real life Sessions, is reportedly accurate.
In SNL's telling, Sessions is asked to pack up his office by White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (Aidy Bryant), during which he's visited by President Trump's adult sons, Vice President Mike Pence, and — in a surprise appearance from Robert DeNiro — Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
"Ohhh boy, Robert Mueller, like they say, you can't arrest me, I quit, sir!" Sessions yelps as Mueller comes into the room. Watch the full sketch below. Bonnie Kristian
