The FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort has already turned up some gold, of the comedy variety.
Late-night comics Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Trevor Noah took their turns poking fun at the twice-impeached former president, finding common ground in the sheer number of Trump-related investigations. Said Noah on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, “This raid has nothing to do with January 6th or tax fraud or giving the White House plumber PTSD.” Referencing a ubiquitous comedian, Noah continued, “I’m amazed that Trump has time for all of these crimes….He’s like the Steve Harvey of crime.”
Over on NBC’s The Tonight Show, Fallon took a similar approach: “You know that you’ve done some shady stuff when the FBI shows up and you’re like ‘And which investigation is this regarding? Oh, right this way, right this way.’” He followed that with a joke about Trump supporters and their outrage over the raid, noting, “To put it in context, the green M&M not being sexy anymore also enraged his base.”
On CBS’ Late Show, Colbert devoted a segment to a mock game show titled Which Crime Is it?, in which players had to choose among a long roster of possible reasons for the raid. A sample: Ukraine blackmail, Obstruction, Sexual Assault, Campaign Finance, Bank Fraud and Porn Star Hush Money.

retrieved classified documents from his Mar-a-Lago estate.During an appearance on CNN, host Don Lemon quoted Cohen as previously saying that “with the walls closing in around [Trump], his next move is to find a scapegoat.” Asked to elaborate on what he meant, Cohen was happy to oblige.“I believe the next scapegoat is going to be Rudy-Colludi Giuliani,” the attorney said. “Everybody likes a bargain, but Donald Trump really likes a bargain, and I believe that Rudy is like a BOGO — buy one get one half-off.”Cohen added that he thinks Trump and his allies are prepared to “throw [Giuliani] under the bus” for both the FBI’s investigation of the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and the current investigation in Georgia related to whether or not the former president violated the law in an effort to flip the 2020 election results.“They’re just gonna keep pointing the finger,” Cohen said.Lemon and Cohen also discussed the number of excuses that Trump has given so far for the documents at Mar-a-Lago.

stream of messages, Trump called the search a “WITCH HUNT,” and complained that “the whole World was watching as the FBI rummaged through the house, including the former First Lady’s closets (and clothing!), alone and unchecked.”He also repeated the unsubstantiated claim that the FBI planted information, an assertion CNN’s Daniel Dale condemned as “totally untrue” when he fact-checked Trump’s many claims.Among Trump’s comments posted on Truth: the request that the FBI return documents he said were protected by attorney-client and executive privileges that were reportedly seized during the search.“By copy of this TRUTH, I respectfully request that these documents be immediately returned to the location from which they were taken,” he wrote.On the platform, Trump also shared — or “retruthed,” as he put it — posts from accounts with names referencing QAnon or alt-right groups, including a post from “WWG1WGA.” The abbreviation of the phrase “where we go one, we go all,” is a rallying cry from QAnon, according to CBS News.In addition, Trump circulated a post from an account called “We The Pepe,” which references a meme called Pepe the Frog, which the ADL designated as a hate symbol after the meme was used in racist, anti-Semitic and other bigoted contexts.In response, Dale fact-checked Trump’s claims that the FBI planted evidence in the Florida residence, which has been gaining traction for Trump allies who baselessly argue that the documents he had were declassified and/or planted by the FBI.“They’re throwing everything at the wall,” Dale said. “There’s no basis for any of this.

Sitting with co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski to discuss her much-scrutinized trip to Taiwan last week, Pelosi was first asked to share her thoughts on the historic raid.“We’ll get to the very important questions surrounding what’s happening in Taiwan in just a moment,” Brzezinski began. “But first – good morning – we would like very much to get your reaction, Madame Speaker, to the search of former president Trump’s estate in Mar-a-Lago down in Florida.”“All I know about that is what is in the public domain,” the Speaker of the House began, smiling.
