The media is jumping the gun on President Donald Trump just as it did with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Bill O'Reilly told Newsmax TV.
On Monday's "The Wayne Allyn Root Show," O'Reilly discussed many in the media's claim that Trump could be indicted when he leaves office for campaign finance violations stemming from hush payments his former lawyer Michael Cohen made during Trump's campaign.
"It's another Brett Kavanaugh situation, where the press convicts somebody without due process," O'Reilly said. "The charges that the media is leveling against President Trump are not answered because there are no formal charges.
". . . To me, you wait until the Mueller report comes out. You wait until if President Trump has to answer some formal charges, what his attorneys say before you convict him. But of course, the destroy Trump media is in business to take him out, and that's what they're doing."

Special counsel Robert Mueller and his team are investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Trump has maintained no collusion existed.
O'Reilly said it is important to note Trump has not been charged with anything to date.
"There is no complaint against Trump – it's against his lawyer," he said. "Whatever the press puts out, I look at it . . . it doesn't necessarily mean it's true. But we're living in a world of witch hunts."
