In the end, Alec Baldwin's Trump admits everything.

This week was no different. Given the news from Washington, D.C., is arguably petering out, the show imagined “The Trial You Wish Had Happened,” a spoof on daytime courtroom reality shows. In fact, Judge Mathis presided over this satirical trial in which witnesses actually testified.

Cecily Strong debuted her mustachioed take on former national security adviser John Bolton, who just wants to sell his new book, “Harry Potter and the Room Where It Happened.” Meanwhile, Alex Moffatt’s Rep. Adam B. Schiff complained his “gecko eyes have been wide open for 86 straight hours.”The sketch included all sort of comedic detours, such as McConnell and Graham plugging their favorite things.

The funniest moment came courtesy of a besuited Pete Davidson, who rode in on a hoverboard, vape in hand, as Hunter Biden. He admitted he’s now “on the board of a Brazilian money-laundering company called Nepotismo.” When asked he if only got the job because of his father, former vice president Joe Biden, Davidson’s character responded, “That’s right. I’ve been selling Biden steaks from my office at the top of Biden Tower and letting foreign leaders stay at Biden-A-Lago. Oh, no, wait.
