Late-night hosts discussed Kelly’s interview with Gayle King, Jared and Ivanka’s security clearances, and the White House’s symbiosis with Fox NewsStephen Colbert on R Kelly: 'This is the remix to conviction'Late-night hosts talk R Kelly’s non-defense, Trump’s contested security clearances and the New Yorker’s damning report on Fox News. Last month, Kelly was charged with 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse in Cook county, Illinois; he pleaded not guilty. The interview with King “was a chance for Kelly to try to reassure the world that he is normal”, Colbert explained. “This is the remix to conviction.”But R Kelly isn’t the only cultural figure in the hot seat, and Colbert returned in another segment to his perpetual target, Donald Trump. “There are so many investigations swirling around Donald Trump right now that R Kelly is like, ‘I’m glad I’m not that guy,’” he said.
