The FBI raided his office last week, seizing documents related to payments he made to adult film actress Stephanie Clifford, whose goes by her stage name Stormy Daniels, and another woman Trump has been accused of having a sexual relationship with in the past. Hannity addressed the news on his radio show Monday, saying he had never officially retained Cohen as his attorney.
“Let me be very clear to the media,” Hannity said. “Michael never represented me in any matter. I never retained him in the traditional sense. ... I never received an invoice from Michael. I never paid legal fees to Michael.” The radio host clarified that he had on occasion consulted with Cohen and asked for the lawyer’s opinion “about legal matters,” during which conversations he assumed there would be attorney-client confidentiality. “I might have handed him 10 bucks, [to say] I definitely want your attorney-client privilege on this, something like that,” Hannity said.
