Republican Sen. David McCormick defended Donald Trump’s latest controversial moves in a rare interview, including the president’s $230 million request for the Justice Department to pay his legal bills, the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, and his party’s handling of the government shutdown.

During his opening monologue, Kimmel touched on Trump’s recent boasts about his cognitive test results. In an interview with reporters aboard Air Force One earlier this week, the President bragged about taking a “very hard” cognitive test back in April, claiming the likes of Crockett and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wouldn’t be able to do it.
