'Reprehensible': Ex-Fox News host tears into Trump after 'despicable' new attack

A former Fox News host tore into President Donald Trump's latest comments toward a female reporter during an interview on CNN on Monday night.

Gretchen Carlson, who hosted several shows at Fox News before departing in 2016, discussed Trump's comments from earlier in the day — when he called ABC News reporter Rachel Scott "the most obnoxious reporter" in the press corps — on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360." Trump made those comments to Scott after she asked him whether he could commit to releasing the video of the so-called "double-tap" boat strike in September that has landed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in legal hot water.

'Wow!' Ex-Fox News uncorks stunning DOJ prediction as Epstein bombshells engulf Trump

A former Fox News host delivered an eyebrow-raising prediction Thursday night on CNN, warning the Justice Department will be forced to make a desperate move early next week as the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files continues to plague President Donald Trump.

Major Epstein-related bombshells dropped this week when the House Oversight Committee released a trove of more than 23,000 documents from the convicted sex offender's estate. The emails referenced several high-profile people, most notably Trump. That includes a 2011 message from Epstein to convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell saying Trump spent hours at his house with one of Epstein's victims. In a 2019 email to author Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote, "Of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop."

Ex-Fox News anchor warns GOP just committed 'political suicide'

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson warned Wednesday evening on CNN that the Republican Party is destroying their brand with their mismanagement and apparent cover-up of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files review — an issue President Donald Trump has tried to dismiss in recent days by calling it "irrelevant" and a "hoax."

"I want to play some of what the president and and others around him, many of whom are in the administration, have said about this before for quite some time," said Anderson Cooper, playing an extensive list of clips of various Trump administration officials, like Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, saying the public deserves the truth on Epstein and it would be coming soon. "Gretchen, it's crazy. They ran on this. They've been talking about this. They're, they're the ones running the FBI now, and the Justice Department. It's remarkable to see what they said and what they're saying now."
