Megyn Kelly on Wednesday weighed in on the bombshell Jeffrey Epstein emails, conceding that “they sound bad” for the late convicted sex offender’s old friend, President Donald Trump.
“They don’t sound good. If I were a Democrat, I could easily make some hay with these, which they will,” said the former Fox News host about three new Epstein emails linking Epstein and Trump during an episode of her SiriusXM show.
She later continued, “To me, this is a self-inflicted wound by the Trump administration and it was unnecessary.”
Kelly — who, back in July, blamed Attorney General Pam Bondi for the backlash against the administration over its handling of the Epstein files — turned her attention to the optics of Trump not sharing the information ahead of time.
“Why didn’t he just release these? Just release them!” said Kelly to her guest, NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon.
“Now he’s in a position of being singled out as the only one, allegedly, as opposed to one of a slew of names.”
Epstein — in the three emails shared by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee — wrote that Trump “knew about the girls,” described him as a “dog who hasn’t barked” and claimed that a victim “spent hours” with the future president.
Following the Democrats’ Epstein emails drop, Republicans on the panel shared a trove of over 20,000 documents from the late convicted sex offender’s estate.
One email in the massive release suggested that Epstein and Trump kept in contact after he became president, despite Trump’s claims to the contrary.
