Special Counsel Robert Mueller's final report on the investigation into Russian meddling could be issued as early as next week, and if that's the case, Seth Meyers think President Trump might be preparing an exit strategy — with an assist from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
On Thursday's Late Night, Meyers went over the different ways Trump may have interfered with the probe, including firing former FBI Director James Comey after he refused to drop an investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, and then bragging to Russian officials about it. "The evidence is clear, when this is all over Trump's either going to go to jail or he's going to have to resign and flee and join the Space Force," Meyers said.
