Could you please let me know what the four words each mean in the following passage?

reel, charged, plainly, with

He earned no reprieve with his complaints that Mr. Khan had been unfair to him; on Sunday morning, he https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/759743648573435905 that Mr. Khan had “viciously attacked” him. Mr. Trump and his advisers tried repeatedly to change the subject to Islamic terrorism, to no avail.
