    In the latest installment of the recurring comedy segment — which uses clever editing to insert Meyers into mock exchanges with Leavitt ― the host asked her to respond to President Donald Trump calling his supporters “weaklings” for demanding the release of the Epstein files.

    “That claim is just simply untrue,” Leavitt replied.

    The back-and-forth ended with Meyers exasperatedly saying, “Oh, my God! Why are you like this?!?”
