A House committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection has requested an interview and information from Fox News host Sean Hannity.
The assessment was prepared by the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, U.S. Capitol police and other law enforcement agencies.
One specific December 2020 text from Hannity to Meadows highlighted in the letter reads:"We can't lose the entire WH counsels office. I do NOT see January 6 happening the way he is being told. After the 6 th. He should announce will lead the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. Go to Fl and watch Joe mess up daily. Stay engaged. When he speaks people will listen."
Hannity had previously criticized the violence that took place last Jan. 6. But he's also been sharply critical of the committee and its work, saying on the air Dec. 13 after his texts were revealed:"We've been telling you that this is a waste of your time and money. They have a predetermined outcome."
The request is the first by the nine-member panel to a member of the media and opens a new door for the investigation as it widens its scope to any and all people who were in contact with the former president and his inner circle in the time surrounding the attack.
