Overview
- Kelly made the allegations on a Hodgetwins podcast appearance on Friday, saying Trump had cheated on every wife and invoking an allegation Ivana Trump raised in a 1990 divorce deposition.
- She framed the remarks as a response to the president’s public criticism of former counterterrorism official Joe Kent for remarrying after his wife Shannon Kent was killed in combat.
- News coverage notes the Ivana claim comes from a long‑published 1990 deposition that Ivana later walked back and that Kelly explicitly said she could not personally confirm the allegation.
- The podcast clip spread quickly over the holiday weekend and drew immediate, sharp rebukes from Trump loyalists and conservative commentators on social media and in opinion pieces.
- The episode highlights Kelly’s break with Trump since February over U.S. strikes on Iran and could deepen fissures on the right even though no new evidence or legal action has emerged from her statements.
