Trump turns on Hannity over Capitol riot texts: ‘I disagree with Sean’

Donald Trump has lashed out at one of his staunchest supporters, Sean Hannity, after more of the Fox News host’s Capitol riot texts were revealed to the public.

On Tuesday, the US House committee investigating last year’s insurrection sent Mr Hannity a letter asking him to voluntarily testify. In that letter, which the committee made public, it quoted a text that Mr Hannity allegedly sent to Mr Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and the pro-Trump congressman Jim Jordan.

“Guys, we have a clear path to land the plane in 9 days,” Mr Hannity wrote just four days after the riot. “He can’t mention the election again. Ever. I did not have a good call with him today. And worse, I’m not sure what is left to do or say, and I don’t like not knowing if it’s truly understood. Ideas?”
