The late-night comedian poked fun at Trump for his New York "hush money" trial during Monday night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. The politician is battling 34 criminal counts of falsifying business documents, allegedly to hide "hush money" payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Daniels claims to have had a one-night stand with Trump in 2006. The business mogul allegedly had his former lawyer Michael Cohen pay Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about the rumored affair ahead of the 2016 general election, with Trump repaying Cohen via 12 monthly installments labeled as "legal fees."
Trump has refuted both the allegations of an affair with Daniels and the fraud charges.
After dubbing Trump the "Toot Fairy"—a reference to claims that the 77-year-old has been "farting" in court—Kimmel mocked Trump's birthday message to his wife, Melania Trump. Kimmel cut to footage of the Republican addressing reporters outside of Manhattan Criminal Court on Friday.
"I want to start by wishing my wife Melania a very happy birthday," Trump said. "Be nice to be with her, but I'm at a courthouse for a rigged trial. Terrible."
