Fox News Channel issued a statement Tuesday that host Sean Hannity would retain his spot as an evening anchor and would continue to have the “full support” of the media organization.
“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 issued in a statement according to an NPR reporter.

It recently came to light in court Monday that Hannity was one of the three clients President Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen took on last year.
However, Hannity denies that he was ever officially a “client” of Cohen’s because the Fox News host claims he never retained Cohen for legal purposes and never paid him an invoice, but would occasionally seek his expert legal advice.
