Megyn Kelly Gets Personal in Utterly Scorching Criticism of Trump Claims He's Cheated on Every Wife He's Had'

The hosts discussed Joe Kent, a former counterterrorism chief who resigned from the second Trump administration after disagreements tied to the U.S. war with Iran. Kent had written a critical letter claiming Iran posed no imminent threat and accusing Israel of pressuring Trump to launch the attack. Kent’s wife Shannon died in a 2019 suicide bombing while serving in Syria. When reporters asked about Kent’s resignation, Trump said he was not a fan and criticized him for remarrying soon after Shannon’s death. Megyn Kelly responded by saying Trump had cheated on every wife, citing relationships and allegations involving Ivana and Melania.

"Talk about a glass house! Kelly exclaimed. I mean, Trump has cheated on every wife he's had. I mean, he met Marla Maples while he was still married to the mother of his children, Ivana. It was all over the New York papers. And by the way, Kelly continued, Ivana, his first wife, accused him of raping her. She alleged in her first book that he was so angry over the hair transplant he got, that she made him get. It was so painful, that he raped her. And she later retracted that when he ran for president, but that stood on the books for some time."

"And then he winds up with Melania, and you know, if you think Trump's been faithful to Melania that's great. You got bigger issues than I can solve here. That came a moment after Kelly told the story of how her father died suddenly of a heart attack when he was just 45. And my mother was 44 and was absolutely devastated. They had a true love affair, my parents. They deeply loved one another. And my mom,"

"The subject came up as the hosts spoke about Joe Kent, Trump's former counterterrorism chief, whose wife Shannon died in a suicide bombing while serving with the U.S. military in Syria in 2019. Kent resigned from the second Trump administration in March over the U.S. war with Iran, after penning a scathing letter saying Iran posed no imminent threat to the United States, and accusing Israel of pressuring Trump into launching the attack."

"When speaking with reporters about the fallout, Trump said he was not a fan of Kent, and took a stab at him for remarrying fairly quickly after Shannon's death. Kent married his current wife, Heather Kaiser Kent, more than four years after Shannon's death. Trump's criticism did not sit well with Kelly, at all."
