An unnamed client of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's longtime personal attorney, is Fox News host Sean Hannity.
The revelation came after U.S. District Court judge Kimba Wood ordered Cohen to disclose the name in a court hearing on Monday.
In an earlier court filing Monday morning, lawyers for Cohen refused to identify the recent client one of three people Cohen represented between 2017 and 2018. The lawyers also refused to identify the names of other past clients.
Lawyers for Cohen whose business records were seized by FBI agents April 9 said the then-unnamed client had told Cohen not to disclose his name and that they believed Cohen had a duty not to disclose it.
They also said that if Cohen's clients, other than Trump, were publicly revealed, it is "likely to be embarrassing or detrimental to the client."

Why would Cohen even comply with such an illegal order in the first place? He should have told Wood to pound sand.
Secondly. Hannity and others should now SUE Cohen for breaching lawyer/client privileges.
Well, we need the liquor store bills of U.S. District Court judge Kimba Wood. Because, that’s why.
Attorney client privilege smivilege.
Cue pics of popcorn fest
Note that Cohen’s political history is as a Democrat, until Candidate Trump. People don’t seem to have noticed that Hannity has become more conservative over time from his starting point as a NY Rockefeller Republican.
Kimba Wood....
Officiated at the Sorros wedding.
Was Bill Clinton’s AG nomination until she got caught with an illegal alien nanny and pulled her name. (She was replaced by Janet Reno.
So this means that Cohen is acting as a lawyer and therefore they can’t say he has been only a business associate of Trump’s. They can’t have it both ways by saying he doesn’t have clients and releasing his client list, one of whom is Hannity.
Hannity, Trummp and a few others do not SHY from a fight.
Hannity’s not perfect, but he won’t apologize or cry.
He’ll SLAM back at them.
Just like the POTUS
Yep.
That was my first thought. I bet there were others named as well, but didn’t merit reporting. Even lawyers on the payroll for a single client usually end up doing some other legal stuff for people they know or are related to, just to maintain relationships.
Some of the crazies over at Twitter are saying that this is wrong and Hannity should not have been named.
I predict this is really going to backfire on Mueller/ the judge etc.
Get them, Hannity. It’s your turn in the box and you’re a fighter. Make them pay for this!
Why is this news, am I missing something here?
I have never seen anything like this in my life.
It feels like we are in East Germany.
Hannity has not retained cohen, but he is admitting he had consultations. He should have disclosed when he started covering stories with Cohen in them.
HANNITY says on the radio he never used Cohen. He just asked him some legal questions.
Working hard to protest violation of attorney-client privilege while publicizing the attorney’s client list...
This is what David Hogg posted about today. Did he know what the judge was going to do?
Famous in NY legal circles for being a playboy bunny back in the stone age, hence “The Love Judge.”
The liberal fascist left are a crime syndicate. They have broken the law concerning atty /client privilege. Sean Hannity now must clain that privilege along with PDJT.
Now that there has been such abuse, the campaign to destroy the liberal fascist crime syndicate or racketeers can now begin in earnest.
Soon the court filings will begin, as well as personal law suits.
Its past time for PDJT to clean up these racketeers who seek to silence Conservative journalists and impeach PDJT in order to thwart the electoral will of the People.
Let the battle begin.
