Sean Hannity, the Fox News host who has been waging war on the air against special counsel Robert Mueller and is an outspoken advocate for President Donald Trump, was revealed Monday as one of only three clients that Michael Cohen, the president’s personal attorney, had during 2017 and 2018.
In a court filing earlier in the day, Cohen had sought to shield Hannity’s name from becoming public. Cohen said he had three clients: Trump; Elliott Broidy, the former deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee, who impregnated and then paid a woman with whom he had an affair; and a third party that Cohen said did not want to be identified.
During Monday’s proceedings, U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood ordered Cohen’s attorney to disclose the client’s identity. The client is Hannity, Cohen’s lawyer said.
