Megyn Kelly Warns ‘They Will Rue The Day’ Over Trump Guilty Verdict

Megyn Kelly has voiced her strong disapproval following a New York jury's guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump, asserting that the country has been "disgraced" and predicting that Democrats will regret their actions. In a Thursday post on X, the host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast expressed her outrage to her 3 million followers.

“Guilty on all counts,” Kelly wrote. “The country is disgraced. Alvin Bragg should be disbarred. They will rue the day they unleashed this lawfare to corrupt a presidential election.”

This reaction follows the jury's decision to convict Trump on all 34 counts in the hush-money trial, marking the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime. Kelly’s condemnation echoes sentiments she expressed on her Sirius XM podcast, where she criticized the prosecution led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

“It wasn’t until closing arguments yesterday when the prosecution got up second, because under New York law, unlike in most places, the defense has to go first and the prosecution goes second,” Kelly explained on her show. “And after the defense attorney had already sat down, that’s when we finally learned what the underlying crime was.”

Kelly highlighted the prosecution’s reliance on the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) violation as the core of their case. “He [prosecutor Joshua Steinglass] got up there and while he cast a wide net, still saying it could have been a tax violation, it could have been falsification of other records like double falsifications, but really they’re hanging their hats on the violation of FECA,” she said. Kelly pointed out that Bragg does not have the jurisdiction to enforce federal election law, a fact that federal authorities had already dismissed.

“The Federal DOJ had already said there’s no case here. The Federal Election Commission had already said there is no case here. Only Alvin Bragg resurrected this alleged violation as the underlying basis for this entire criminal case,” Kelly noted.

The verdict, which Trump’s legal team is expected to appeal, caps a weeks-long courtroom drama in which Trump insisted he was a victim of “political persecution” as he campaigns for a second term in the White House. Kelly's outspoken defense of Trump underscores the deep divisions and high stakes surrounding this case.
