According to the article Hannity didn't say it, someone in the white House did.
White House officials know how frequently Hannity calls because Trump will say, “I just hung up with Hannity,”
Surely you're not accusing the White House of lying?
No. I didn't even address that issue. My implication was that Hannity does a lot of name-dropping and tooting of his own horn, especially that he alone is carrying the fight (Levin does it, too) (you probably understood my 'Elijah-esque' characterization).
And stop calling me Shirley :)
