Fox News host Sean Hannity is linked to a group of shell companies that have spent $90 million buying hundreds of homes across the U.S through the help of foreclosures and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Guardian reported Sunday.
More than 870 homes in seven different states have been purchased over the past decade, ranging from large mansions to rentals for low-income families, according to the newspaper.
For some of the mortgages, Hannity reportedly obtained funding from HUD under the National Housing Act loan program, which was first guaranteed under President Obama’s administration.
Secretary Ben Carson’s department recently increased Hannity’s original $17.9 million mortgage for purchases in Georgia by an additional $5 million, records obtained by the Guardian show.
Hannity did not disclose his cooperation with HUD when he had Carson on his show last June, the Guardian noted.

What's so complicated about buying rental real estate or fixer-uppers for sale? It is routine. It is also routine to use shell companies to do so, especially if the person behind the shell is well-known or perceived as having deep pockets.
That's what I was thinking.
He didn't do anything illegal, and sounds EXACTLY like what Senator Lizzy "Injun" Warren did, and Tony Rezko, and Vallery Jarrett.
What about Pocahontas and her family of evicters, any more follow up?
Did’nt think so.
Or as to paraphrase George Carlin, “ it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”
Seems like he invests in low income housing as well as mansions.
Sounds like a fair and balanced investor.
Quite legal and smart.
Satan’s little demons, hard at work.
As did Warren Buffett and a lot of other leftward heroes.
Good for him.
I’ll wager its Hannity’s Investment Manager doing this and not Hannity himself. Seems like he would be more than busy enough doing other things.
Translation:
The corrupt state is getting nervous—Hannity must be alinksied and taken down. Hannity is one of only 2 or 3 talking heads really taking the wood to our corrupt stasi state.
He’s a capitalist? Who’d a thunk it.
The so is this. When you are in the public eye like Hannity is then you have to remain above reproach no matter what, that extends to your family life and your investments.
Hannity, like many in the media, probably should restrict their investments to extreme conservative things. In fact probably should invest only in certain bonds and securities and away from anything that is remotely liable to be controversial.
His investment in this kind of real estate venture doesn’t really look good publicly. He will have to address it like his connection with Cohen.
“This stuff should be private.”
The Swamp Media will regret this. Now every one of them is fair game for a look into their financial lives.
“This stuff should be private. Did they steal all this info from Cohen?”
Good question
If we are talking about a few houses, that is one thing, anything on the level he is on is another. It’s the perception not the legality.
Big question being asked is how did this LEAK out???
The media is desperate.
