Former president Donald Trump was met with a civil fraud lawsuit from New York Attorney General Letitia James on Wednesday, and “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon can tell he’s getting worried. “He just asked Ron DeSantis to fly him somewhere random in the middle of the night,” he joked.
Breaking down the contents of the $250 million suit, which accuses the twice-impeached former president of widespread business fraud and inflating the value of his properties, Fallon detailed how Trump claimed his Mar-a-Lago estate is worth $739 million, but it was only appraised at $75 million. Putting on his Trump impression, Fallon figured out where he got such a gargantuan number: “Technically, with all the classified documents, it is worth $739 million.”And it’s not the first time that Trump has been accused of exaggerating the size of his wealth, properties and more – and Fallon gleefully pointed out in the Wednesday night monologue.
“Yes, Trump exaggerated the size of his wealth, his apartment, and his properties – it’s the first time he’s ever lied about how big something is,” Fallon set up to audience laughter. “Other than his inauguration crowd, his vote total and his night with Stormy Daniels.”Then, Fallon turned his attention to Attorney General Letitia James, commending her on her sly mic drop while wrapping Wednesday’s press conference announcing the lawsuit.
“The attorney general laid out all the details of Trump’s alleged fraud, and then she ended her press conference by saying this,” the host said, playing a clip. “‘Claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to “The Art of the Deal,” it’s the art of the steal.'”“That’s a burn!” Fallon quipped.

Trevor Noah is nearing his last laugh on “The Daily Show.” The comedian, who came out of near anonymity to take over the program from Jon Stewart in 2015, plans to exit the flagship Comedy Central series after a seven-year tenure that saw him transform it for a new generation of viewers who are more at home on social media than they are cable outlets and broadcast networks. Noah revealed his plans to an audience at Thursday evening’s taping of the program in New York, according to two people familiar with the matter. It was not immediately clear when his actual exit would take place, or whether the Paramount Global cable network had begun to consider a successor. Jill Fritzo, a representative for Noah, could not be reached for immediate comment.

Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner glossed over New York Attorney General Letitia James’ announcement of a civil lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, calling it “inside baseball” and even potentially “political.”Fox News aired James’ description of the lawsuit for around eight minutes, in which she detailed that she and her office will sue Trump, his adult children and his real estate business for fraud stretching back years.As the attorney general’s remarks faded into the background, Faulkner summed up the situation very quickly before moving onto a discussion of “The View” and the criticism of Sunny Hostin by Nikki Haley.“So the New York State Attorney General has just announced a rather lengthy and detailed layout of the lawsuit that she is putting against Donald Trump former president,” she began.“Some of this is really inside baseball unless it’s your tax dollars in New York, and some people may even accuse it of being political because we’re 48 days away from the midterm elections, and both Presidents the current and the past are certainly being looked at to help candidates out,” Faulkner continued. “So we’ll see how this plays out.
