Fox News host Sean Hannity slipped up Monday when he referred to Hillary Clinton as “President Clinton” during his fiery opening monologue delivered on the same day the first indictments were issued as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
“This is what the media will ignore, this is what matters, these are the facts, this is where the evidence comes in,” Hannity started after dismissing the first charges against three former Trump campaign associates as being irrelevant to the White House. “What did President Clinton — or President Clinton wannabe — President Obama, and key members of the administration, what did they know about the Uranium One scandal?”

The Uranium One deal was a 2009 transaction in which a Russian state-controlled company bought Uranium One, an entity that controlled 20 percent of American uranium reserves.
The agreement required approval from nine different federal departments and agencies, including the Clinton-led State Department, and was signed after Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, was paid a $500,000 speaking fee by a Russian bank linked to the deal.
Hannity has been a vocal critic of Hillary Clinton’s and an influential supporter of President Trump.
