After Seth Meyers delivered a minor burn to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer during his final “A Closer Look” segment Monday night during his final “A Closer Look” segment Monday evening, he jokingly added: ” And they thought we would run out of equipment. “
But as much as the Late at night host wants to leave Donald Trump, he was sucked back thanks to the pending impeachment trial in the Senate. “Of course, Trump has struggled to put together a defense team for his impeachment, because his usual attorney is busy to be charged for over a billion dollars,” Meyers said, laughing out loud.
He was referring to the $ 1.3 billion Dominion Voting Systems is seeking damages from Giuliani for spreading what the lawsuit describes as “a viral disinformation campaign” consisting of “demonstrably false” allegations about the company’s actions during the 2020 election.
Really, $ 1.3 billion? What do you think I am, some kind of bastard? Giuliani responded in a radio interview earlier in the day: ‘That’s meant to scare me, you want to scare me, you want to scare me, like you have some of these companies and stations that kissed you-know-you. Because they’re scared of you. Well, I’m telling you I’m a crazy boy, I really am, I’m just really crazy. “
“It’s funny, when you sue someone for a billion dollars, it sounds like a joke,” said Meyers. “But when you sue them for $ 1.3 billion, you start to think, ‘Oh, they might have some evidence.'”
Most of the time, though, the host thought it was just hilarious that someone would think Giuliani could make up that much money. “Good thing vampires are immortal, because he’ll have to work the rest of his life to pay it off,” he joked. “I mean, this poor man has no money. Remember when he couldn’t even afford hair dye and just rubbed a typewriter ribbon on his head? “
“Plus, he’s probably still paying alimony to his cousin,” Meyers added.
