Last night the U.S. ambassador to Haiti, Kenneth Merten, said talks with the Haitian government about the case were ongoing. But the ambassador did not visit the prisoners.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the case a "matter for the Haitian judicial system."

"We're going to continue to provide support as we do in every instance like this to American citizens who have been charged, and hope that this matter can be resolved in an expeditious way," Clinton said this morning. "But it is something that a sovereign nation is pursuing based on the evidence that is presented when the charges were announced."

Stewart, of course, was alluding to the theory proposing that COVID-19 had escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, a belief which was once the exclusive domain of Donald Trump and his conspiratorial supporters, but has since been acknowledged as a possibility by public health experts, most notably, Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Publicly speculating on the origins of the virus should, undoubtedly, be left to health experts and not late night comedians, but Stewart didnโ€™t care to hold back, stating:

โ€œOh my god, thereโ€™s a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China, what do we do? Oh, you know who we could ask? The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab. The disease is the same name as the lab. Thatโ€™s just a little too weird!โ€

Colbert shifted uncomfortably in his seat as a wide-eyed Stewart grew more and more insistent that the โ€œlab leakโ€ hypothesis was correct, utilizing humor to ease the ever-increasing tension, and making use of metaphor to illustrate his point.

โ€œThereโ€™s been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania, what do you think happened?โ€ Stewart asked, sarcastically. โ€œI donโ€™t know, maybe a steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean. Or itโ€™s the f**king chocolate factory!โ€

โ€œCan I say this about scientists?โ€ he asked. โ€œI love them and they do such good work, but they are going to kill us all.โ€
