On his nationally syndicated radio show, Sean hannity made the following statement regarding the news that Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen told a judge that Hannity was one of his three clients:
Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective.
I assumed those conversations were confidential, but to be absolutely clear they never involved any matter between me and a third-party.
In response to some wild speculation, let me make clear that I 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 Fox News Cable TV show, Hannity had the following to say – along with a comical piece about the news:
Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective.

Cohen says he’s his client, hannity thinks he has attorney client privilege, yet he says he never retained Cohen as his attorney. Something very strange about this.
Oh, how the liberal conspiracy-mongers rub their hands with glee…
Hannity is a Tzadik Gomur and a real true genuine “Ohev Yisroel”.
