Saturday Night Live's weekend update opened with a recap of President Donald Trump's week, in which his former longtime personal lawyer plead guilty to lying about his dealings with Russian officials over plans to build a Trump Tower Moscow.
"Trump defended himself saying the deal was 'very legal and very cool,'" said anchor Colin Jost. "Which sounds like a Craigslist ad for Russian prostitutes. 'Number 1 all-time babes, very legal cool, man. And we never kill you, only sometimes."
The segment also touched on Trump's misplaced faith in Cohen, who had previously said he'd take a bullet for the president, and on the general creepiness of former Trump campaign boss Paul Manafort.
