Megyn Kelly has conceded that the newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails 'don't sound good' for Donald Trump, suggesting the president should have released the files himself to avoid a 'self-inflicted wound.' The conservative podcaster made the comments during her show while discussing the emails released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
The emails reveal Epstein frequently mentioning Trump over a 15-year period, including a claim that he had photos of the president with bikini-clad girls. In one exchange, author Michael Wolff suggested letting Trump 'hang himself' during the 2016 campaign, saying it could yield political currency. Epstein also discussed Trump with journalist Thomas Landon Jr., asking if he wanted photos of Trump with young women.
Kelly said the leak was 'basically kind of a middle finger' to Trump and that Democrats could easily exploit the emails. She argued that Trump's failure to release the files himself put him in a worse position, making him appear singled out. 'To me this is a self-inflicted wound by the Trump administration and it was unnecessary,' she added.
