Sean Hannity Addresses The Whole Michael Cohen Situation

Earlier today, Sean Hannity was revealed as Michael Cohen’s “mysterious” third client.

Judge Kimba Wood ordered Cohen to attend and provide information about his clients as she weighs an emergency action by Cohen’s attorneys to stop prosecutors from reviewing more than a dozen electronic devices and documents seized during a FBI raid of Cohen’s office, home and hotel room last week.

Cohen’s lawyers had publicly identified Trump and Broidy as clients, but only revealed Hannity’s name after the judge ordered them to.

Everyone immediately flipped out and assumed this pointed to OBVIOUS nefarious behavior. I turned on Sean Hannity’s show, and he addressed the claims rather quickly. He said he’s known Cohen for years, and he never represented him in any sort of official capacity. He’s had occasional discussions with him, but it never went beyond that. He also said his questions never involved a third party. There was nothing nefarious.

He also just addressed this on Twitter:

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.

There you have it. I’m sure he’ll address this on his show tonight as well.
