“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert noted that Americans seem unhappy there was no collusion because Russia’s Vladimir Putin “knows what he’s talking about” unlike President Donald Trump.
The Late Show host Stephen Colbert roasted President Donald Trump over his approval rating in the wake of Attorney General William Barr’s summary of the Mueller report after one poll showed his favorability went down despite what he claimed was total exoneration.
According to Barr’s summary, special counsel Robert Mueller’s confidential report did not find that the president, his campaign, or any of its associates conspired or coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 election. “Voters were also asked if they had a more or less favorable view of Trump after Mueller’s findings. Thirty-nine percent said more favorable while 43 percent said less favorable,” Colbert said, referring to a Morning Consult poll.
It is not clear how much of the report will be released because of various legal and national security concerns about the information within it. Barr has said parts of the Mueller report will be released in April.
