With Donald Trump admitting he would accept foreign intelligence on his political opponents, late-night hosts had a fresh crop of material. On The Late Show, Colbert began: “Every night, I stand up here and make jokes about all of Donald Trump’s lies. But today, I think I might owe him an apology. Because it turns out, it’s even worse when he tells the truth.”
