MAGA podcaster Megyn Kelly slammed First lady Melania Trump's denial of a relationship with late convicted child sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Kelly was responding to the bombshell comments this week and posed several questions during her podcast on Friday "The Megyn Kelly Show," Radar reported.

"Why did she do this?" Kelly asked. "That’s really what everyone was asking. Why? Like, everyone knows. Everyone knows in PR, once the storm has passed, you don't do anything to bring it back upon you."

Kelly was confused why Melania would bring up the topic — and surprise the public with her statements — while the world was waiting for updates on the war in Iran.

"If she doesn't want people talking about her relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, or whatever it was with Epstein, then she shouldn't talk about her relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein," Kelly said.

Kelly added that the move was unusual, "especially when — has that been in the news? Have any of you been seeing that in the news? The news right now is non-stop Iran."
