The House impeachment hearing is migrating to the Judiciary Committee, and President Trump is insisting Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky has totally exonerated him, Jimmy Kimmel said on Monday's Kimmel Live. "That is some argument. The idea that Trump is innocent because the guy he shook down said so is ridiculous even for him. This is like if he tweeted: 'Breaking News: Kid whose lunch money I stole says he GAVE me his lunch money because he admired my fists! Case over!'"

Trump is in Britain for a NATO summit, Kimmel said, but his friend Prime Minister Boris Johnson "is actively avoiding him because they have an election next week and he doesn't want to be seen with him. Relations between the prime minister and an American president have not been this shaky since Love Actually." Still, he said, "Trump is very popular in his party," and a new poll found that "53 percent of Republicans say they believe Donald Trump is a better president than Abraham Lincoln." Nobody really believes that, he added. "Donald Trump thinks Four Score is a strip club in Florida."
