WASHINGTON — The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection on Tuesday requested an interview with Fox News personality Sean Hannity, one of former President Trump’s closest allies in the media, as the committee continues to widen its scope. A Fox News spokesperson declined to comment on the request. One specific December 2020 text from Hannity to Meadows highlighted in the letter reads: “I do NOT see January 6 happening the way he is being told. When he speaks people will listen.”Hannity criticized the violence last Jan. 6. They have a predetermined outcome.”He also complained about committee member Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., publicizing his text.
