“You could knock me over with whatever you use to knock someone over who isn’t the least bit surprised,” Colbert said Monday on "The Late Show."

The host scoffed at the Trump administration’s general denial of Russian collusion while the president’s son now openly openly admits that he met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer about damaging Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

“There is no evidence of collusion, or even the desire to collude with the Russians, by anyone in the Trump campaign … is something that was true 48 hours ago,” Colbert said.

He said "it's not a smoking gun, but it is a gun meeting with a Russian bullet to talk about their mutual desire to smoke.”

Colbert brought up the different explanations that Trump Jr. offered for the meeting with the lawyer, including American adoption of Russian children and then eventually looking for damaging information on Clinton. He said the explanation that Trump Jr. offered is “pretty damning.”

He joked that he found it hard to believe that Trump campaign officials Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort would take time for a meeting in the middle of the campaign without knowing details that the meeting could be helpful in their efforts against Clinton.

“We’re supposed to believe that during the height of the presidential campaign, on the advice of a guy he met at the Miss Universe pageant, Don Jr. said, ‘Hey Jared, Paul, I know you guys are a little busy right now, but I need you to come to a meeting. With who? I don’t know. About what? I’m not telling you.”
