Fox News host Sean Hannity has unleashed a scathing critique of Michael Cohen's testimony against former President Donald Trump in the NY v. Trump case, labeling it a "judicial circus" and casting doubt on the credibility of the star witness.
Hannity opened his monologue by condemning the proceedings as a "kangaroo court" and questioning the relevance of previous testimony from adult film star Stormy Daniels. He highlighted her admission of hating Trump and her claims of seeing dead people and making graphic jokes.
Turning to Cohen, Hannity emphasized his disbarred status, his history of lying under oath, and his current legal troubles. He also noted Cohen's solicitation of donations on TikTok while wearing a shirt depicting Trump behind bars.
The Fox News host further questioned the credibility of Cohen's testimony, citing the skepticism expressed even by CNN experts. He argued that the prosecution was asking the jury to trust the word of a convicted liar.
Hannity asserted that Trump's poll numbers have been rising every day he sits through the proceedings, indicating that the public is seeing through the "circus" and recognizing the unfairness of the case.
He dismissed the testimony of Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg as irrelevant and accused the prosecution of trying to implicate Trump through guilt by association.
Hannity concluded by expressing his belief that Cohen's testimony would have no meaningful impact on Trump's legacy or his chances of running for president again in 2024. He declared that Trump would emerge stronger from the ordeal and that his supporters would remain steadfast.
The Fox News host's remarks reflect the broader conservative narrative surrounding the NY v. Trump case, which has been characterized by claims of bias, unfairness, and a lack of evidence. Hannity's audience is likely to resonate with his condemnation of Cohen's testimony and his continued support for Trump.
