Megyn Kelly is breaking with the Donald Trump camp on one issue she says she cannot ignore. She says the Trump family’s business dealings look “grifty,” even as she still backs him politically. The criticism has drawn attention because Kelly has long been a Trump supporter and has made clear she is not walking away from him.
Megyn Kelly calls out Donald Trump’s family
Megyn Kelly made the remarks in an interview with Sky News Australia, where she said she has been “disappointed with some aspects” of Donald Trump‘s administration. The sharpest criticism was aimed not at the president’s policies, but at the financial activity surrounding his family. She said, “The Trump family is grifty,” and added that she “can’t stand that stuff.”
Kelly also drew a direct comparison to Hunter Biden, saying she did not like that behavior then and does not like it now. At the same time, she shared that her broader political view has not changed. She said the choice is still a “binary system” and argued Trump is “reams better than that lunatic Kamala Harris would have been.”
The debate intensified even further after Trump’s latest financial records were made public. The filings revealed he brought in at least $2.2 billion over the past year, with cryptocurrency accounting for a large share of that. More than $500 million alone was linked to World Liberty Financial, the crypto company he launched alongside his sons.
That fresh disclosure immediately reignited accusations from critics, who argue the president’s family continues to profit while he serves in office. The White House pushed back. As per The Independent, Spokesperson Anna Kelly called it the “same, tired narrative” Democrats have used against Trump and his family for years. She said Trump acts “only” in the public’s best interests and insisted there are no conflicts of interest.
Further, a spokesperson for Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump also dismissed the claims as “categorically false,” saying both men have long worked as business leaders on their own, not on government decisions.
