THERE IT IS: Fox News speaks out on Sean Hannity's relationship with Michael Cohen

A lot of people were wondering if the revelation about Sean Hannity’s relationship with Trump lawyer Michael Cohen caught Fox News off-guard. It appears that it did … but the network is standing behind Hannity anyway:

"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." – FOX News

OK, but:

To my knowledge, ABC didn't punish Stephanopoulos after it was revealed that he donated to the Clinton Foundation. https://t.co/6tzchiY25o

So maybe Fox isn’t so different after all.
