In a series of statements, Hannity said Cohen never represented him "in any matter," though he "occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective."
Hannity later added that he "did not ask Michael Cohen to bring this proceeding on my behalf, I have no personal interest in this proceeding, and, in fact, asked that my de minimis discussions with Michael Cohen, which dealt almost exclusively about real estate, not be made a part of this proceeding."
On his radio show that day, Hannity said "I might have handed him 10 bucks" in order to grant attorney-client protection for certain matters.
Fox News said it still backed Hannity despite learning about his dealings with Cohen.
"While Fox News was unaware of Sean Hannity's informal relationship with Michael Cohen and was surprised by the announcement in court yesterday, we have reviewed the matter and spoken to Sean and he continues to have our full support," the cable channel said in a statement.

Hannity has done nothing wrong
If persecuted, the persecutors must be exterminated
Whats the big deal? I dont get it
It’s ridiculous. Rush just recited all the blatant conflicts of interest that the MSM news people, members of Obama’s administration and the Mueller team have had. And the list went on and on. What do they have on Sean? He consulted with Cohen. So what.
I wonder if this is a violation of attorney/client privilege to mention Seam with Michael Cohen the way they did?
... and how about a little kick in the butt for Juan Williams.
Under the current situational ethics espoused by many people, it doesn’t matter what one does before he is elected. So even if Sean did something that used to be horrible, we must remember that he is not president, which sometimes would be wrong and possibly other times not wrong under current ethical wisdom.
What CRIME has Cohen done??? What CRIME has Hannity even if he was his ONLY lawyer?
I despise whats going on in this witch hunt!
