Megyn Kelly Critiques Trump Family's Financial Ventures

Conservative podcaster Megyn Kelly expressed disappointment with Donald Trump's family regarding their financial activities, referring to them as 'grifty' moves. Her comments followed the release of financial disclosures showing that Trump's crypto ventures have significantly increased his wealth, reportedly making him $1.4 billion richer since taking office. In 2025, Trump earned $2.2 billion, which includes $500 million from a crypto venture founded with his sons Donald Jr., Eric, and Barron. Kelly stated in an interview with Sky News Australia that she is a fan of the Trumps but disapproves of the financial dealings, comparing them to those of Hunter Biden, whose business dealings have been scrutinized by House Republicans. She also mentioned that Trump is preferable to Kamala Harris, acknowledging his efforts to address birthright citizenship. The financial disclosures have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, as Trump is both a major crypto earner and a regulator. Additionally, a report from The New York Times indicated that Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick facilitated a billion-dollar mining deal in Kazakhstan that could benefit their sons. White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly responded to the criticisms, stating that the narrative against Trump and his family is a long-standing one pushed by Democrats, asserting that Trump acts in the best interests of the American public.
