This week, former U.S. senator and “SNL” vet Al Franken is guest-hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and since his whole thing is the intersection of comedy and politics, you can guess his monologue on Tuesday’s show was mainly about politics.In particular, he had some pretty good zings about the investigation of Donald Trump concerning the disgraced former president’s potential violations of federal laws concerning top secret information.

The Justice Department said in a court filing on Monday that it opposes the release of an affidavit that was used to justify its search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago property a week ago.

said Monday morning that former President Donald Trump should call “for an end to the violent rhetoric” against the FBI.“With all of these threats going around, it would ultimately be great if the former president, who has always been a great supporter of law enforcement and who has posed with 1000 police departments coast to coast,” Doocy said on “Fox & Friends,” “it would be great if he called for an end to the violent rhetoric against federal law enforcement and, in particular, the FBI that was just doing their job.”The plea comes just a day after Trump attacked the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago residence in a frenzy on Truth Social, a social media app backed by his media and technology company. In the messages, the former president complained that “the whole World was watching as the FBI rummaged through the house, including the former First Lady’s closets (and clothing!), alone and unchecked,” and repeated the unsubstantiated claim that the FBI planted information.In response, Doocy called for a de-escalation of the threats directed at federal law enforcement as a result of the discontent felt by many supporters of the former president.“It would be great for everybody to tamp down the rhetoric against the FBI because the FBI was simply doing what the DOJ asked them to do,” Doocy said.

stream of messages, Trump called the search a “WITCH HUNT,” and complained that “the whole World was watching as the FBI rummaged through the house, including the former First Lady’s closets (and clothing!), alone and unchecked.”He also repeated the unsubstantiated claim that the FBI planted information, an assertion CNN’s Daniel Dale condemned as “totally untrue” when he fact-checked Trump’s many claims.Among Trump’s comments posted on Truth: the request that the FBI return documents he said were protected by attorney-client and executive privileges that were reportedly seized during the search.“By copy of this TRUTH, I respectfully request that these documents be immediately returned to the location from which they were taken,” he wrote.On the platform, Trump also shared — or “retruthed,” as he put it — posts from accounts with names referencing QAnon or alt-right groups, including a post from “WWG1WGA.” The abbreviation of the phrase “where we go one, we go all,” is a rallying cry from QAnon, according to CBS News.In addition, Trump circulated a post from an account called “We The Pepe,” which references a meme called Pepe the Frog, which the ADL designated as a hate symbol after the meme was used in racist, anti-Semitic and other bigoted contexts.In response, Dale fact-checked Trump’s claims that the FBI planted evidence in the Florida residence, which has been gaining traction for Trump allies who baselessly argue that the documents he had were declassified and/or planted by the FBI.“They’re throwing everything at the wall,” Dale said. “There’s no basis for any of this.
