At the All-In Summit held in Los Angeles from September 8-10, Megyn Kelly made headlines with her sharp rebuttal to accusations leveled against former President Donald Trump.

Kelly, a former Fox News host and attorney, participated in a panel discussion where the topic of lawfare against Trump was raised, and she delivered a forceful defense of the former president while highlighting the politically motivated nature of the legal attacks against him.

During the event, Kelly appeared alongside tech entrepreneurs Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg. Calacanis, who hosted the panel, made an erroneous claim that Trump had been found “guilty” in several civil cases, referencing the legal battles involving E. Jean Carroll, the Trump Organization, and the hush money case.

Kelly, however, quickly corrected him, reminding him that civil cases do not result in “guilt” but in liability, and laying out the facts to clarify his misstatements.

Kelly, a former lawyer, then provided a detailed breakdown of the legal cases against Trump, addressing each one with precision.

She pointed out how the law was changed retroactively in the Carroll case to allow the lawsuit to proceed, a move she described as problematic.

She also addressed the fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, noting that the banks involved in the case did not consider themselves victims and that James had campaigned on a promise to go after Trump.

In addition to her critiques of the Carroll and James cases, Kelly took aim at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who she argued had shown little interest in pursuing cases except when they involved Trump.

She also raised questions about the Georgia case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, pointing out concerns about Willis’ relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor appointed to oversee the case.

Finally, she addressed the classified documents case in Florida, expressing doubt about its strength.

Throughout her remarks, Kelly highlighted what she sees as the politically motivated nature of the cases, arguing that the legal actions taken against Trump are not about justice but about preventing him from returning to office.

Her defense resonated with the audience, many of whom erupted in applause at various points during the discussion.

David Sacks, one of the co-hosts of the podcast, humorously teased Calacanis after Kelly’s takedown, suggesting that he had “lost his right” to bring up lawfare ever again.

The audience’s laughter and applause underscored the point, reflecting the broader sentiment among many Americans who view the legal challenges against Trump as politically driven.

Kelly’s performance at the summit has been widely praised by conservative media outlets and commentators.

Watch the video:

Kelly’s defense of Trump comes at a time when the former president is facing multiple legal battles across different states, including charges related to his business practices, allegations of sexual misconduct, and the handling of classified documents.

Despite these challenges, Trump remains a formidable force in American politics, and his supporters continue to rally around him, viewing the legal attacks as further evidence of a biased system intent on preventing him from returning to power.

The All-In Summit, which featured numerous high-profile speakers, offered a glimpse into the ongoing debate surrounding Trump’s legal battles and their impact on his political future.

Kelly’s unapologetic defense of the former president underscored the deep divide in the country over these issues, as well as the determination of Trump’s supporters to push back against what they see as politically motivated attacks.

For many in the conservative movement, Kelly’s performance at the summit served as a reminder that the legal challenges facing Trump are not just about him—they are about the broader fight for political power in the United States.

As the 2024 election approaches, the outcome of these legal battles will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the political landscape.

Whether Trump can overcome these challenges and make a successful bid for the presidency remains to be seen, but what is clear is that his supporters, including prominent figures like Megyn Kelly, are not backing down.

As the applause at the summit demonstrated, many Americans are standing firm in their belief that the legal attacks on Trump are not just an assault on him, but on the values of fairness and justice that they hold dear.
