"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

  • Stephen Colbert joked about the FBI's raid of President Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen's Manhattan office on Monday night's "Late Show."
  • Colbert referenced the New York Times article that broke the story of the raid, which reported that the FBI had seized records related to Cohen's $130,000 payment to the pornographic actress Stormy Daniels, who alleges she had an affair with Trump in 2006.
  •  "They got everything," Colbert said of the FBI. "They got all of his information about porn in a folder marked 'finances' and all of his information about finances in a folder marked 'porn.'"

Stephen Colbert opened his "Late Show" on Monday night with a series of spirited jokes on the FBI's raid of President Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen's Manhattan office.

Colbert started the monologue by playing a clip of Trump speaking with reporters on Air Force One last week about the $130,000 payment Cohen made to the pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels in October 2016. (Daniels has alleged that she said had an affair with Trump in 2006.)

Trump told reporters of the payment: "You'll have to ask Michael Cohen. Michael is my attorney. You'll have to ask Michael."

"Well, guess who watches TV?" Colbert said in response to the clip. "Robert Mueller."

The "Late Show" host then cited the New York Times article that broke the story of the raid, which reported that the FBI had seized records from Cohen "related to several topics including payments to a pornographic film actress."

"They got everything," Colbert said of the FBI. "They got all of his information about porn in a folder marked 'finances' and all of his information about finances in a folder marked 'porn.'"

"And remember, Michael Cohen said he paid Stormy Daniels out of his own pocket, which is crazy," Colbert continued. "Who pays for porn?"
