On Nov. 30, 2020, Sean Hannity hosted Sidney Powell on his prime-time Fox News program. As she had in many other interviews around that time — on Fox and elsewhere in right-wing media — Ms. Powell, a former federal prosecutor, spun wild conspiracy theories about what she said was “corruption all across the country, in countless districts,” in a plot to steal re-election from the president, Donald J. Trump.
At the center of this imagined plot were machines from Dominion Voting Systems, which Ms. Powell claimed ran an algorithm that switched votes for Mr. Trump to votes for Joseph R. Biden Jr. Dominion machines, she insisted, were being used “to trash large batches of votes.”
Mr. Hannity interrupted her with a gentle question that had been circulating among election deniers, despite a lack of supporting proof: Why were Democrats silencing whistle-blowers who could prove this fraud?
Did Mr. Hannity believe any of this?
“I did not believe it for one second.”
That was the answer Mr. Hannity gave, under oath, in a deposition in Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, according to information disclosed in a court hearing on Wednesday. The hearing was called to address several issues that need to be resolved before the case heads for a jury trial, which the judge has scheduled to begin in April....
And in some cases, other high-profile hosts and senior executives echoed Mr. Hannity’s doubts about what Mr. Trump and his allies like Ms. Powell were saying, according to the Dominion lawyer, Stephen Shackelford.
This included Meade Cooper, who oversees prime-time programming for Fox News, and the prime-time star Tucker Carlson, Mr. Shackelford said.

Very interesting when you consider what Rudy just said about Fox refusing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop.
Vanity lies.
Why is anyone still watching FAUX News?
‘Eff Hannity.
Hannity being the beotch, mma wannabe, shooting guns since he was 12 but doesn’t know the difference between a magazine and a clip, BEOTCH that he’s always been.
Hannity is another conservative who has aided in the destruction of our nation.
Hannity, is in on the grift... he knows the election was rigged, he cares about his position of power and influence more... He is basically a TV fall guy wrestler... pretends to care but when the real truth about the demons running our country is teed up... he lets himself get hit over the head with a chair.
It’s a reporter’s job to be skeptical of a story. How is this relevant to the case? Why not call you? Why not call me?
Hannity is a enormously stupid man.
Sean “your not a great American” Hannity. The only thing ‘great’ about you is your massive ego and love of your own voice.
Biden bragged about the coming vote fraud before it happened.
Who cares what Hannity or any other person thinks? What I saw was the theft of an election. In no way did Biden win honestly. If so, open the books wide and let the examination take place. The fact that they want to all us election deniers, and move along quickly, while they always dispute the results of elections they lose, and want as long as it takes to rectify the election results in their favor/
Hannity is boring. His sidekick Linda must be in it solely for the money.
Well, Hannity asked his friends at the FBI and they told him there was no problem. Case closed. /s
The guy’s a fraud along with Laura Ingrateham. These faux conservatives are just paid stooges of the Deep State. Hannity is the same as all of the idiots on MSNBC, CNN and the rest of the alphabet networks.
Just absolutely wild. Almost as wild as what the election experts are testifying to about what went on in Maricopa county.
Well, Hannity is now, and always has been, a shill for the corrupt FBI. What else is he gonna say?
Then Trump takes his advice and endorses Oz.
When will Trump find the discernment to recognize who he can trust?
I wonder which alphabet agency he works for.
“Hannity being the beotch, mma wannabe, shooting guns since he was 12 but doesn’t know the difference between a magazine and a clip, BEOTCH that he’s always been.”
Sadly, I can say the same about many Freepers.
Sham Hackity lost me in 2017-2019 with his, “Two weeks and we get indictments.” There are so many two cycles before I find someone to be full of crap.
