The US House of Representatives panel investigating the deadly attack on the US Capitol last January is seeking cooperation from Sean Hannity, the Fox News host and one of Donald Trump’s closest allies in the media, as the committee continues to widen its scope. “It also appears that you were expressing concerns and providing advice to the President and certain White House staff regarding that planning. Hannity has been a major supporter of Trump on his Fox show, as well as an adviser to the former president. Ask people to leave the Capitol?” Hannity texted Meadows during the attack, the recently released records show. On Monday, meanwhile, Donald Trump announced he was cancelling his own press conference on the day, blaming the House committee.
