“I am really looking forward to bringing you this one and many more to come,” Kelly explained. “I’m very glad that he agreed to do it. He’s not saying yes to everyone and to his credit Donald Trump knows that I’m not somebody that suffers from Trump derangement syndrome like the vast majority of people in the media but I’m also not a sycophant.

“So I’m not going to go in there and be a boot licker,” she concluded, adding, “It’s going to be fun, and he can handle it perfectly well.”

[Can he? Trump did a tough interview with Bret Baier and arguably damaged his defense in the obstrtuction/classified materials case. But clearly Trump is feeling the need to expand past the softball-media interviews to which he normally sticks as part of his primary campaign. He did an interview with Hugh Hewitt this week and that produced some real headline moments. Accepting an invite from Megyn Kelly also runs some risks that Trump didn’t have to take with Tucker. — Ed]
