The cable news channel regularly accuses Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia investigation of being a ‘coup’ by a ‘criminal cabal’. The same day, fellow Fox News host Jesse Watters suggested that the investigation was “a coup” to overthrow Trump. Fox has returned the favor by covering the Russia investigation in a positive light for the president. Hannity has also called the Mueller investigation “a disgrace” and claimed that it “pose[s] a direct threat to you, the American people, and our American republic”. As he put it: “It’s not just about opposing Hillary Clinton but Hillary Clinton, George Soros and al-Qaida combining to overthrow President Trump.”
