Panel Laughs in Jennings’ Face Over Trump Wealth Excuse

CNN's MAGA panelist Scott Jennings was laughed at to his face when he tried to dismiss concerns about how much Donald Trump and his family have enriched themselves since his return to office.During a typically argumentative roundtable debate on Sunday's NewsNight with Abby Phillip, the panel discussed a September Gallup poll that found nearly 90 percent of Americans believe government corruption is "widespread"—a record-high figure that has risen sharply from 73 percent in 2024, before Trump's second term.Phillip suggested the dramatic rise could partly be attributed to the president's personal net worth increasing by billions of dollars since he returned to office, which she said is "unheard" of and "has literally never happened before."
