The Megyn Kelly Show's AM Update on May 12, 2026, covers a range of high-profile developments. A hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise ship is under scrutiny, with 18 passengers being monitored in U.S. biocontainment units—only one testing 'mildly positive' with no symptoms. Health officials emphasize the virus's limited spread compared to respiratory diseases, while detailing strict exposure guidelines. In a separate legal drama, suspect Cole Thomas Allen pleads not guilty to charges related to the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, with his defense team seeking to remove U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro due to a conflict of interest, citing her presence at the event and friendship with President Trump. The case is expected to proceed under a Trump-appointed judge. Meanwhile, former President Joe Biden attempts to block the release of audio recordings from his memoir interviews with ghostwriter Mark Zwanitzer, which were obtained during the Robert Herr classified documents investigation. Critics argue the tapes could expose cognitive decline and improper handling of classified materials, calling the delay a political tactic ahead of the midterms. The episode closes with President Trump welcoming the undefeated Indiana Hoosiers to the White House for their national championship, honoring their historic season while noting the absence of star quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who joined the NFL. The segment underscores themes of transparency, accountability, and national pride.
