Megyn Kelly reportedly expressed her confidence to NewsNation host and Mediaite founder Dan Abrams on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump would face a straightforward conviction in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” case against him.
“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.” Kelly said during her appearance.
“You don’t actually believe Trump didn’t have an affair with Stormy Daniels as he says, right?” Abrams asked.
“No, I believe there was an interlude. I don’t know, ‘affair’ may be too strong.” she responded.
“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.” she added.
“So I grant you, yeah, they’re probably going to convict him. They’re going to convict him pretty easily, I think.” Kelly concluded.
Trump is facing a total of 34 felony charges for allegedly falsifying business records in order to hide the payments in question. The ex-president has entered a plea of not guilty for all charges.
