When discussing hush money payments made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, Hannity claimed that Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen had made them without consulting Trump.

“I can tell you personally, he said to me at least a dozen times that he made the decision on the payments and he didn’t tell you,” Hannity said.

Trump agreed with Hannity that Cohen had made that decision independently.

Hannity insists Cohen "was never my attorney" - Cohen said in court Hannity was 1 of his 3 clients - then says Cohen told him he decided to make hush payments on his own

During congressional testimony Wednesday, Cohen said that Trump was aware of the payment to Daniels, who alleges she had an affair with the president.

Trump has denied the affair and that any payments made violated campaign finance laws.

My god, that would be amazing. Putting Hannity under oath would dispel his persona, and lay bare all he really is. A radio voice in a suit that can deliver talking points.

So now Hannity has the choice to double down on this lie under oath and face felony charges or admit he was using his tv show to help the president obstruct justice.
