Play of the Day: Lie Detectors at the White House
According to reports, President Donald Trump wants to try a new method to uncover leaks.
Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney spoke o the press last week about President Donald Trump's now-infamous phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and said that deals like the one on the call "happen all the time." Jimmy Kimmel joked about the news, saying that the administration's stance towards quid pro quos in the call started as "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit" to "gimme back my glove!"
According to Politico, Trump has become so obsessed with leaks that he has openly mused about forcing White House staffers to take polygraph tests. Late Show's Stephen Colbert joked about news, saying Trump ordering lie detector tests is "like administering a drug test." Late Late Show's James Corden joked that the president loves polygraphs so much because his signature looks like a polygraph machine's output, while Colbert also joked that the test won't work because "any time a polygraph comes within 10 feet of Trump, it bursts into flames."
