NEW YORK, NEW YORK, -(77 WABC)- The January 6th House committee is looking for Fox News host Sean Hannity to voluntarily cooperate with the panel.
The committee said it has text messages from Hannity saying he was worried about the next 48 hours referring to the capitol riots.
CNN reporting that the committee said it had received “dozens” of his text messages sent to and from former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that indicate that he had “advance knowledge regarding President Trump’s and his legal team’s planning for January 6th.”
In the letter, the panel said it wants to speak with Hannity specifically about his communications with Trump, White House staff and his legal team between December 31, 2020, and January 20, 2021, when President Joe Biden was inaugurated.
Many Fox hosts had also tried to tell Trump to stop the violence, including 77 WABC’S Brian Kilmeade.
