Megyn Kelly says the law Trump signed to release the Epstein files has "enough exceptions" that you could "drive a U-Haul truck through it"

From the December 12, 2025, edition of SiriusXM's The Megyn Kelly Show

MEGYN KELLY (HOST): So what's your take on where we stand now and what's been released on Epstein, what's going to be released. And even that law that Trump signed commanding the release has enough exceptions in it, Dave, to drive a U-Haul truck through it.

DAVE SMITH (GUEST): Well, look, it's just -- it's one of these things where it's just on the face of it, it's too absurd. Like, you just can't say, look — I mean, they're saying, like, that the files have to be redacted for national security reasons. [House Speaker] Mike Johnson is saying that it would threaten the entire political order if it was released. This is before they voted, he lost the vote and they — it was voted to release. Like, what? Someone's got to explain that.
