Megyn Kelly accuses Trump of cheating on every wife
Megyn Kelly accused former President Donald Trump of cheating on every wife he has had and resurfaced a sexual assault allegation from his first wife, Ivana Trump, during a podcast appearance on Friday. Her comments, made on the Hodgetwins Podcast, were prompted by Trump’s recent criticism of former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent for remarrying four years after his first wife was killed in combat.
Kelly called out what she described as a double standard. “Talk about a glass house,” she said. “I mean, Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had. He met Marla Maples while he was still married to the mother of his children, Ivana. It was all over the New York papers.” She then referenced an allegation Ivana Trump made during the couple’s 1990 divorce proceedings, in which she described a violent sexual encounter. Ivana later retracted the claim, saying she did not want her words taken “in a literal or criminal sense,” and dismissed it as “totally without merit” during Trump’s 2016 campaign. Trump has long denied the allegation. Kelly added that she could not confirm the claim. “I don’t know whether that’s true or not, but just saying, clearly not a great relationship there,” she said.
