Rudy Giuliani continues to be the hot topic of late night as he continues to spill words all over the place in his interviews. His most popular tagline of the week seems to be “Collusion is not a crime”, referring to the Michael Cohen tapes and the ongoing investigation of Donald Trumps alleged collusion with Russia for the 2016 election. Of course, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert had some things to say about it.

“At some point, everyone whos close to Trump turns on him,” said Meyers at the beginning of his “A Closer Look” segment on Late Night. He goes on to talk about how Cohen and Omarosa have been dragging him. But the segment pretty much focused on Giulianis attempt to discredit Cohen. In an interview with CNN featured during “A Closer Look” he said that Cohen is a “proven liar” and has been “lying all his life.” He goes on to say that the Trump doesnt have a credibility issue like Cohen. Meyers disagreed saying, “Hes a liar whose lawyer is lying about his lying lawyers lies.”

Meyers continued to address two Giuliani interviews. One Fox News interview where he said that “collusion is not a crime” and another interview on CNN where he said “The hacking is the crime. And the president didnt hack.” But all of this wasnt enough. Giuliani called into Fox News later and backpedaled saying that both collusion and hacking can be a crime — and he claims that Trump did neither.

“Just because Trump didnt do the hacking, doesnt mean hes not complicit of the crime,” said Meyers. “Besides, Trump has been very clear who he thinks did the hacking.”

Meyers then played footage of election debates where Trump said that the hacking could have been done by Russia, China or “a 400-pound guy sitting on his bed in New Jersey.” Watch the video above to see who Meyers think Trump was referring to. (Hint: its Trump.)

On The Late Show, Colbert pointed to the same CNN interview where Giuliani said he doesnt know if colluding is a crime.

“Youre his lawyer,” jabbed Colbert. “Youre supposed to what the law is.”

The host also addressed Giulianis statement about Trump not hacking and not paying Russia for hacking. “He didnt pay them for hacking and I hope hes not paying you for lawyering,” he said.

Colbert joked that Trump couldnt do the hacking but then, like Meyers, he referenced the election debates when Trump said the bit about a “400-pound guy from New Jersey” could have been the hacker.

“OK, so he could have done it, its possible,” Colbert admitted.

TONIGHT: Rudy's collusion delusion! Giuliani doesn't know what's a crime, but why would the President's lawyer need to know about that? #LSSC pic.twitter.com/48iSyR1p9J
