Trevor Noah on Monday referred to Fox News' Sean Hannity as President Trump

“If you’re truly devoted to the Church of Trump, then you know that the memo’s true reason for being is to discredit the FBI, which is why the words of the memo mean much less than the spirit of the memo,” Noah said on "The Daily Show."
“And this is a concept that no one understands better than Trump’s archbishop of bullshit.”
"Mueller's investigation is and has been a witch hunt from the very beginning. It's built on a house of cards, and tonight it is crashing down," Hannity said on the program.
"And by the way, nobody else will say this, all charges against Paul Manafort

Noah joked that nobody else would say that because they'd all be "embarrassed to look that dumb."
He added that Hannity thought the memo would exonerate Trump.
"Sean Hannity, admit it, on this one, you lost," Noah said.
Noah was referring to the recently released GOP memo which alleges surveillance abuses at the Department of Justice.
The memo — drafted by staff for House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes
Devin Gerald NunesSchumer: Nunes intent on undermining 'rule of law' with altered memo Schiff: Nunes gave Trump 'secretly altered' version of memo Former GOP rep rips Nunes over memo: He's chair of Trump's reelection campaign MORE (R-Calif.) — alleges that senior DOJ officials inappropriately relied on a piece of opposition research paid for in part by Hillary Clinton to obtain a surveillance warrant on Trump campaign aide Carter Page. It claims that without the so-called Steele dossier, no surveillance warrants would have been sought.
Trump this past weekend claimed the memo "totally vindicates" him in the ongoing investigation into his campaign's alleged links to Russia.
The House Intelligence Committee on Monday voted unanimously to release a memo drafted by Democrats to counter the GOP-crafted document.
The 10-page classified document now goes to President Trump, who has five days to block its release if he so chooses. It remains an open question whether he will.
The Democratic memo is expected to lay out a point-by-point rebuttal of the assertions in the Nunes memo and make the case that the FBI had good reason to spy on Page as part of the counterintelligence probe into the Trump campaign.
