Overview
- Kelley said an unnamed person she described as very close to the case told her for years that Epstein pursued “barely legal” teens, specifically citing 15-year-old girls.
- She told Batya Ungar-Sargon she had believed Epstein did not fit the label of an actual pedophile and contrasted 15-year-olds with much younger children.
- Kelly said she reconsidered after Pam Bondi alleged Epstein possessed thousands of videos showing child sexual abuse, though she added she does not trust Bondi on Epstein matters.
- The exchange aired on The Megyn Kelly Show and was first highlighted by Media Matters before being covered by other outlets.
- The conversation followed newly released emails, including Democratic disclosures suggesting President Trump “knew about the girls,” with Mediaite noting both parties released tranches and a discharge petition advanced a vote to release more documents.
