‘He’s Going to Get Convicted’: Megyn Kelly Says No Doubt Trump Will Lose Hush Money Case
Megyn Kelly told NewsNation host and Mediaite founder Dan Abrams on Tuesday she had no doubt that former President Donald Trump would be convicted “pretty easily” in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” case against him.
After Abrams noted, “It seems to me that it’s going to be a tough defense,” Kelly said:
Oh, he’s getting convicted. I don’t really think there’s a lot of mystery about that. He shouldn’t, but he’s going to get convicted. The jury’s going to hate him. Manhattan went 92%, between 87 and 92% for Joe Biden. That’s where this is going to be tried. These are not Trump lovers.
“You don’t actually believe Trump didn’t have an affair with Stormy Daniels as he says, right?” asked Abrams, to which Kelly replied, “No, I believe there was an interlude. I don’t know, ‘affair’ may be too strong.”
She continued:
Look, I think the jury’s going to believe that he paid off a porn star before the election to make her go away and that he didn’t write down in his books, “Hush money to Stormy Daniels,” because no one in the history of hush money payments has ever written that in any book anywhere. It defeats the whole purpose of a hush money payment.
Kelly concluded, “So I grant you, yeah, they’re probably going to convict him. They’re going to convict him pretty easily, I think.”
Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal the aforementioned payments. The former president has pleaded not guilty to all counts.
