Watch Newsmax Host Gleefully Try To Discredit Trump’s Judge With Debunked Info

“This would suggest that the judge is hideously biased,” Greg Kelly said.

Greg Kelly of right-wing channel Newsmax appeared to relish his attack on the judge in the hush-money case against Donald Trump on Wednesday. Just one problem: Kelly’s premise was based on widely disputed reports. (Watch the video below.)

Kelly jumped on a right-wing claim that Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter, a Democratic political consultant, had an X account with an altered profile photo that showed Trump behind bars.

Trump, who was given a new gag order by Merchan, wrote on Truth Social that the image showed her desire for a conviction “and makes it completely impossible for me to get a fair trial.”

But in the afternoon, The Spectator ran an online forensics check and determined that the account was no longer hers. A spokesperson for the court later said the account that Trump railed against was taken over about a year ago by another person who manipulated the image. The spokesperson’s remarks circulated well before Kelly’s 9 p.m. show.

Despite the contradicting reports, Kelly ran with Trump’s comments and the image.
