Since Trump’s election in 2016, Hannity has been one of the president’s staunchest supporters through his often-controversial time in office (per Britannica). This past August, he released a new book, Live Free or Die: America (and the World) on the Brink, which makes an impassioned case for a second term. In the introduction, he writes, “I can’t emphasize enough how concerned I am with the unmistakable trends we can all now plainly see and how imperative it is that we reelect President Donald Trump in 2020 along with resounding Republican majorities in both houses of Congress. Our children’s future depends on it.”
But apart from his political views, what else do we know about this influential journalist?

In 2018, it was revealed that the two friends had another thing in common: Both were clients of lawyer Michael Cohen, who admitted to paying porn actress Stormy Daniels to keep mum about her alleged affair with Trump prior to the election. Cohen identified Hannity as another of his clients, to which Hannity replied, “Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter” (per NPR).
