Michael Cohen’s ‘Red Flag’

Two of late-night television’s favorite topics — the Russia investigation and the Stormy Daniels scandal — got entangled on Monday: The F.B.I. raided the office of Michael Cohen, President Trump’s lawyer, who paid the pornographic film actress Stephanie Clifford $130,000. Clifford, who is known as Stormy Daniels, has said it was hush money to keep her from talking about her affair with Trump.

Stephen Colbert delivered the Cohen news with glee. So did his fellow hosts.
