Podcaster Megyn Kelly cautioned that President Donald Trump risks creating "another Epstein" controversy if he pardons Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Speaking Wednesday about reports that Trump is "strongly considering" a pardon for Combs’ prostitution conviction, the former Fox News host urged against it, warning it would worsen backlash from Trump’s base over his refusal to release an alleged Jeffrey Epstein client list.
Pardoning Combs, she said, would deepen this distrust, as the rapper’s case echoes similar allegations of celebrity misconduct involving young women and drugs at his notorious "freak-off" parties.
She further warned that a pardon could harm the Republican Party, which is losing female voter support, by signaling that "young vulnerable women don’t count." Kelly suggested it would reinforce claims of a cover-up, damaging Trump’s credibility and the party’s standing.
