In a riveting clash that’s sending shockwaves through Washington, Megyn Kelly has thrown her weight behind President Trump’s vow for more indictments, zeroing in on Barack Obama as the next target in this escalating saga of political accountability. As the Comey indictment, Obama treason accusations, Trump retribution wave, and DOJ weaponization probes dominate headlines, Kelly’s bold declaration—”Obama must pay like the rest of them”—has conservatives cheering and Democrats seething on September 27, 2025.
The firebrand journalist, once a Trump critic, has evolved into a staunch ally. During a heated segment on The Megyn Kelly Show, she dissected the fresh federal charges against ex-FBI Director James Comey for lying to Congress about leaks in the Russia probe. Trump, fresh off hailing the indictment as “justice served,” teased further prosecutions. Kelly didn’t hold back, linking it straight to Obama: “We’ve always known it—Barack Obama weaponized the deep state against Trump. Now, with Comey down, Obama must pay like the rest of them.”
This isn’t mere rhetoric. It’s a direct echo of Trump’s long-standing claims that Obama orchestrated the 2016 election interference via the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation. With the statute of limitations ticking on related probes, insiders say the DOJ under AG Pam Bondi is gearing up for a bombshell.
The Spark: Kelly’s Fiery Exchange with Trump
It started with a viral clip from Kelly’s podcast. Trump, dialing in from Mar-a-Lago, recapped his Ryder Cup weekend while slamming Comey as a “liar who ruined lives.” Kelly pressed: “Mr. President, the left calls this retribution. But isn’t it just equal justice?”
Trump fired back: “Equal? They spied on my campaign, rigged the election—Obama knew everything!” Kelly nodded vigorously. “Exactly. We always knew. From the dossier lies to the leaks, Obama’s fingerprints are everywhere. He must face consequences, just like Comey.”
The exchange, viewed over 2 million times on YouTube within hours, flipped the script on Kelly’s past. Back in 2015, she grilled Trump on his treatment of women at a GOP debate, sparking his infamous “blood coming out of her wherever” retort. Now? She’s all in, calling Trump “the antidote to Obama’s divisiveness.”
Background: From Obama Era Probes to Today’s Reckoning
The roots trace to 2016. The FBI, under Comey’s watch, launched Crossfire Hurricane amid unverified Steele dossier claims of Trump-Russia ties. Obama, briefed in Oval Office meetings, allegedly greenlit the surveillance—including FISA warrants on Trump aide Carter Page.
Comey’s indictment, unsealed Friday in Virginia’s Eastern District, accuses him of perjury in 2020 Senate testimony. He denied authorizing leaks about the Clinton email probe, but prosecutors cite emails showing he did. Trump loyalist U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan pushed the case despite career objections.
Enter Obama. Trump has long accused him of treason for “knowing and approving” the “hoax.” Declassified docs from 2020 show Obama warning Comey about Clinton’s “insurance policy” against a Trump win. Kelly, in her show, hammered: “Obama twisted racial knives, seized healthcare, and birthed woke chaos. Now, justice demands he pays.”
This builds on July’s DOJ review, where special counsel John Durham’s report—though critical—stopped short of charges. With Trump’s return, that changes. Sources tell Fox News the next filing could name Obama aides like John Brennan or even the former president himself.
Live Updates: Reactions Pour In as Tensions Boil
Trump’s Truth Social Tirade
Minutes after Kelly’s segment, Trump posted: “Megyn gets it—OBAMA TREASON! Comey first, but the BIG ONE coming. Drain the swamp FOR REAL!” Views topped 5 million by noon, with #ObamaMustPay trending nationwide.
At a Florida rally teaser, Trump added: “They impeached me twice, raided my home. Now? Their turn. No one above the law—not even Saint Obama!”
Kelly’s Unfiltered Follow-Up
On her afternoon SiriusXM slot, Kelly doubled down. “I used to think Obama was a good man, bad president. Wrong. He’s bad period. Divisive, deceitful—look at the racial tensions he stoked. Trump? Good man, great president.” She mocked critics: “The left screams ‘dictator’ while ignoring their own weaponization.”
A caller challenged: “But Trump hates his enemies!” Kelly shot back: “Blatant lie! He loathes those who tried to jail him—rightfully!”
Democratic Backlash Erupts
House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries fired off: “This is Trump’s revenge fantasy, not justice. Obama saved the economy—Trump crashed it.” Senate Dems demanded Bondi’s recusal, citing “clear bias.”
Legal analyst Joyce Vance tweeted: “Kelly’s lost it. Treason? That’s sedition talk.” But GOP firebrand Rep. Matt Gaetz cheered: “Megyn’s right—equal justice now!”
Polls reflect the rift: A Morning Consult snap survey shows 61% of Republicans back Obama scrutiny, versus 12% of Democrats.
Public Frenzy: Social Media Erupts in Echo Chamber
X (formerly Twitter) lit up like never before. MAGA accounts flooded with memes of Obama in handcuffs, captioned “Kelly Says What We Knew!” One viral post from @TheThe1776 racked up 19K likes: “Megyn ranks Obama bottom of 21st century presidents—divisive king!”
Critics piled on. @MeidasTouch blasted: “Kelly’s grudge? Obama ‘fired’ her? Newsflash: Trump was president then.” (Her 2018 NBC exit was over blackface comments, not Obama.)
Yet support surged. Kelly’s YouTube subs hit 3.5 million, with fans praising her “evolution” from Trump foe to ally. A Turning Point USA debate clip showed her yelling “That’s a lie!” at a student blaming Trump for violence—drawing 100K views.
Experts chime in. Conservative pundit Ben Shapiro: “Kelly’s spot-on—Obama’s legacy is division.” Liberal prof Laurence Tribe: “This chills speech, weaponizes DOJ against ex-presidents.”
Impact on Everyday Americans: Politics Hits Home
For U.S. families tuning in from coast to coast, this drama isn’t Beltway fluff—it’s a threat to stability. Politically, it deepens the red-blue chasm, with dinner tables turning battlegrounds over “treason” vs. “hoax.”
Economically, uncertainty bites. Stocks wobbled 0.5% Friday amid fears of DOJ turmoil spilling into markets—think delayed probes on Big Tech or foreign policy snarls.
Lifestyle? Trust in institutions craters further. Parents worry kids absorb “woke” echoes of Obama’s era, per Kelly’s rants. Sports? Even NFL games buzz with sideline chants of “Lock him up!”—echoing Trump’s rallies.
Tech users feel it too: Trump’s hinted at purging “Obama holdovers” in Silicon Valley, potentially reshaping social media rules.
In wrapping this explosive chapter, Megyn Kelly’s alliance with Trump spotlights a justice reckoning that could ensnare Obama in treason charges, reshaping U.S. politics for years. As indictments loom and divisions fester, brace for midterms defined by payback—America’s rule of law hangs in the balance.
