From Hollywood superstar to MAGA celebrity. British actor and comedian Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months behind bars after being convicted of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.

But Brand's fall from grace raises another extraordinary question: How did a man facing serious sexual charges become a celebrated figure in Donald Trump's MAGA movement?

Earlier this year, Brand received a standing ovation at a black-tie gala at Mar-a-Lago, where he was celebrated as a defender of freedom. He had also cultivated close ties with prominent MAGA figures, including Donald Trump Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Now, following his conviction and sentencing, conservative commentator Megyn Kelly is publicly defending Brand, calling his punishment an outrage and suggesting he was the victim of a political witch hunt.

In this special report, Don, with journalist Greg McKenzie, examines Brand's extraordinary transformation from British television provocateur to MAGA personality, the criminal case that ended in his conviction, and the political figures who rallied around him.
