but the first clip from their discussion is anything but lighthearted. Have a look below.
The clip focuses on Pelosi’s new bipartisan committee in the House of Representatives that will oversee the White House’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and how the administration handles the $2 trillion relief package that Congress passed last week. Colbert cites the World War II-era Truman Committee, which held corporate leaders to account to thwart profiteering and is cited on the U.S. Senate’s homepage as “one of the most productive investigating committees in [the Senate’s] entire history.” It was formed by then-Sen.

Pelosi went on to describe the House oversight panel that was set up today amid the coronavirus crisis, using the Truman Committee as a model. “How we go forward has to have transparency and accountability,” she said, “Any profiteering and waste, fraud, abuse and all the rest, we want to be addressed in the here and now.”TONIGHT: Stephen talks to
