SNL Women Beg Robert Mueller for a Report on Trump in 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' Parody - New
The women of Saturday Night Live only have one wish this holiday season, and it’s a big request. On Saturday’s episode, the show’s female cast members delivered a cheery political send-up of Mariah Carey‘s iconic seasonal ditty “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — asking special counsel Robert Mueller to finish his report on President Donald Trump by Dec. 25.

Mueller is tasked with investigating potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election. Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Aidy Bryant started off the segment by chatting about their gratitude and plans this Christmas. “We have so much to be thankful for,” Bryant said. “Friends, family.” “And good things that money can’t buy,” McKinnon agreed. “So this year…,” Strong said before launching into the first verse. “I don’t want a lot for Christmas / There is just one thing I need / I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree,” the women began. “I just want a simple thing / And the joy that it will bring / The report is finally due / Mueller, all I want for Christmas is you, you baby,” they continued.

They won’t let me!” “What about Ivanka’s emails, right?” she asked the others, referencing a Washington Post report that Ivanka Trump used a private email account. “Girl, this
