Fox News anchor Sean Hannity testified under oath Wednesday that he never believed the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Hannity gave his testimony in a hearing connected to Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion-defamation lawsuit against Fox News, The New York Times reported. Dominion’s lawsuit alleges that the company faced irreparable damages from the network’s coverage of allegations that its systems rerouted votes cast for former President Donald Trump to then-presidential candidate Joe Biden.
“I did not believe it for one second,” the anchor said, regarding the allegations.
Stephen Shackelford, Jr., an attorney for Dominion, said Fox News Executive Vice President Meade Cooper also testified that she did not believe the allegations against Dominion, NPR reported. He named other several Fox News employees who also said they never believed the election fraud claims.
“Many of the highest-ranking Fox people have admitted under oath that they never believed the Dominion lies,” he said, according to the Times.
The hearing addressed a variety of issues that needed to be settled before the jury trial is held in April, according to the Times.
Dominion alleges that Fox News hosts intentionally made false claims about the company and election fraud on-air while knowing they were false, which it must prove to win the suit, the Times reported. A lawyer for the Colorado-based company said “not a single Fox witness” had supporting evidence for the accusations against the company.
Fox News has reportedly built a case that Dominion cannot prove that the network intentionally attempted to harm the company, NPR reported. Fox Corporation Chairman Rupert Murdoch has been scheduled to testify in the case. His son and Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch has already sat down for his deposition in Los Angeles.
Dominion also filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell in Jan. 2021 over her accusations that it rigged the election in Biden’s favor.
His FBI buddies got to him.
His opinion and that’s all it is.
Did he also happen to mention he worked as a dishwasher and a construction worker?
I haven’t heard him tell those stories in at least the last 30 minutes.
Treasonous liar. Plain and simple.
Then, shazam! Enough mail in ballots appear at select locations the following morning to put sleepy Joe over the top by 80,000 votes.
It was right after he told us how he could come someone out with his martial arts training.
So his beliefs are taken as evidence now? Is that how we do science or the criminal detective work?
The headline is a lie. Hannity (who I don't like and never have liked) Ddid not say that he never believed that there was fraud in the 2020 election. He was asked specifically about a particular type of fraud - alleged votes switching by Dominion - and that is what he said he never believed.
There is all kinds of other alleged fraud from the 2020 election, including fraudulent submission of absentee ballots, etc., About which he was not asked, and about what she gave no opinion.
It's getting impossible to have any reasonable discussions about anything politica because people keep twisting and distorting facts so that they provide maximum support to their own preferred narrative. And most people are becoming too lazy to read the actual quotes for themselves to see if the headlines or conclusions are accurate.
That’s choke someone out
Who cares..
So much for his opinion; shark jumper.
Has he got a new book coming out?....................🤔
And then there’s those world class hand gun skills.....*eyes rolling*
Does anyone really care what Hannity has to say anymore?
His time has passed- have some class and just go away.
His testimony certainly doesn’t reflex his TV performance of all out fraud of the 2020 election. Seems hypocrisy at its best.
Vanity Fraud turned down a copy of Hunters laptop too .
A Phony who I dropped Years ago .
“Has he got a new book coming out?”
Yeah, it’s called “I love me” by Sean (I’d marry myself if I could get away with it) Hannity
Always has been a phony POS blowhard.
All performed using his Henry Repeating arms, of course.
I have never been a frequent Hannity listener or viewer. His radio show used to be on during my commute home, so I would catch about an hour of it. Here’s when I got to be very suspicious of him. One day several years ago, a caller brought up Biden’s “sonofabitch, he got fired” quote. I always wondered why there was never a bigger deal about this in the media. Hannity acted as if he had never heard of it. If I knew about it, how did Hannity not know?
