Incredibly Transparent
The Trump administration’s high-level Signal group chat to which a journalist was somehow invited continued to dominate late night on Thursday.
Jimmy Kimmel called the scandal “the never-ending story” and compared it to the Harry Potter saga, saying, “There are many books and stories to come.” News outlets found some of the key players’ personal information online, including the Venmo contacts of Michael Waltz, the national security adviser.
“Of course, everyone’s still talking to me about the White House’s group chat scandal, but I saw that Trump said it’s ‘really not a big deal.’ That’s a relief. I mean, he said the same thing about Covid, and no problems there.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Meanwhile, whenever McDonald’s takes away the McRib, Trump threatens to bomb Scotland.” — JIMMY FALLON
“And Trump also said that he’s not sure if the information shared on the group chat was classified. He was like, ‘I have to compare it with the documents I have in the bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.’” — JIMMY FALLON
