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.

Oh, the shock, oh, the angst, oh the horror, oh, the🐂💩.
You know, I was thinking the same thing. I think Captain Obvious would agree also.
So?
what utter crap. Do you always fall for the liberal, socialist lies, and talking points?
He has done nothing illegal end of , and yet you seem to have a problem.
He doesn’t fall for them, he promotes them.
Hannity, not a fan of his but will say this - perhaps his actions are another play in POTUS’ playbook in order to publicize the hand in glove relationship of gov/media: how easily the pieces fall into place.
Otherwise, who has committed the crime and who will reap the consequences? That Dr. Carson’s name was mentioned is a cheap shot. Dr. Carson is the voice of integrity. The fact that he was on Sean’s show a YEAR ago (7 mo into DJT term) and both failed to mention any connection only makes us suspicious that media is attempting to pull a fast one. At that time it is doubtful any in his administration had time to attempt to pull any shenanigans.
He is not an elected official. He has no obligation to disclose his private, fully legal investment activities. Regardless, it seems that these investments preceded the Trump administration, and that no special favors have been granted.
Is anything Hannity doing illegal or dishonest? Do plenty of other Americans with the resources invest this way? They make it sound so sinister!
What you said.
corporations buy distressed property once owned by democrats lacking the resources to buy property absent forced bank loans
So is this illegal or immoral?
Doesn’t hurt his credibility at all
REITs and other investments are used by folks all the time
So what he’s a freakin PRIVATE CITIZEN !!! Just another attempt to destroy a good Conservative..Ok media, now do Elizabeth Warren and Maxine Waters come on I double doggy dare ya
Probably.
Newsflash: Hannity caught colluding with OPEC, seen putting gas in his wife’s car!
CNN to air special at 11pm. CIA stoodge Anderson Cooper to host in depth investigation with a panel discussion including Elizabeth Warren and Harry Reid.
Dat Sumb Beech!!!
I Noo Ett!
So let’s start demanding full disclosure of every one involved in the news/media industry. I’m sure there’s a lot of there there...
So the Federal Government sets up Fannie/Freddy,;;;;the banks set up tranches of AA, A, BB, B” collateralize” loans, bought off the rating agencies to falsely grade the loans so people would invest in collateralized debt based on fraudulent gradings, nearly sent the whole world into the dark ages....then made the taxpayers bail out those banks to the tune of 817 bilion dollars (thank you Mr. Hannity for paying your taxes so our representatives in Washington could pay off the grotesque mismanagement of bankers who created the disaster), leaving hundreds of thousands of properties uninhabited to decay to become worth less. Now Hannity and a group of other investors buy some to the real estate which the government and banks screwed up and they are bitiching that some private investors now find these properties may have value and are trying to make a profit. The critics are insane. By the way, none of the banks hedge fund managers went to prison. What a world. What a world.
your are correct, but he is a conservative commentator....an enemy of the deep state.
I seem to remember an advertiser on his show talking about such investments... and Sean said he was an investor. I have to see what I can find...
