In a scathing critique, veteran journalist Megyn Kelly has blasted the charges brought against former President Donald Trump as nothing more than “blatantly political.”
A Florida grand jury recently voted to indict the embattled GOP presidential nominee frontrunner in connection with the Department of Justice’s investigation into missing classified documents, which were discovered at Trump’s private club, Mar-a-Lago.
During the latest episode of her SiriusXM radio show, The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly meticulously dissected the 37 counts included in the indictment.

Kelly wasted no time in pointing out that the language employed in the indictment seemed designed to paint the direst possible picture. “The goal here,” she asserted, “is to make this sound as dire as humanly possible.”

Cooke concurred with Kelly’s observation, acknowledging that the phrases she listed indeed sounded “very bad” and admitted that they may carry significant weight.
Seeking to shift the focus away from Trump’s legal predicament, Cooke raised questions about what might be lurking in President Biden’s garage or the emails stored on Hillary Clinton’s private server. “The most compelling comparison is with Hillary Clinton,” Cooke contended.
He reminded listeners that Clinton had taken measures to erase evidence by scrubbing her servers and destroying her cell phones, yet she never faced indictment despite mishandling classified information.
Referring to Trump’s potential legal troubles in Georgia and ongoing investigations related to the events of January 6th, Kelly expressed her exasperation. “This would mark the third indictment against him. And let’s not forget that Jack Smith might have a fourth indictment up his sleeve for the January 6th incident,” she remarked.

As the conversation shifted towards a debate over semantics, Kelly emphasized the presence of photographic evidence in the indictment that clearly showed Trump in possession of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. She left no room for doubt on that matter.
The charges against Trump have undoubtedly ignited a firestorm, but Kelly’s scathing criticism underscores the deeply entrenched political motivations behind them.
With the specter of Hillary Clinton’s non-indictment still looming large, conservative voices are left questioning the true motivations behind the pursuit of charges against Trump.

Is this an attempt to stifle his chances of reclaiming the nomination? And what about the power of declassification that Trump wields, unlike some his political adversaries?
These are questions that demand answers.
