Sean Hannity was willing to promote Donald Trump's election fraud claims but unwilling to defend them while under oath.

According to the New York Times, when he was deposed as part of a defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network, he admitted that he thought the 2020 election was going to be stolen.

I didn't think it was true for a second.

However, that didn't stop Sidney Powell from hosting fraud proponents, such as the machines that switched votes for Trump to Biden.

There are several issues that need to be resolved before the case heads for a jury trial, which is scheduled to start in April.

It is possible that some Fox employees were aware of the fake news.

The high legal standard of proof in defamation cases requires a jury to decide if network employees were saying something in public and something in private.

Lawyers for the company argued in a Delaware courtroom on Wednesday that there was no evidence to support the election fraud claims made by Trump and his supporters.

Tucker Carlson tried to wriggle out of his deposition when he was asked about what he really believed, according to the lawyer.

The Huffington Post reached out to Fox News, but they didn't reply immediately.

A memo that was uncovered last year shows that the Trump campaign was aware that many of his claims were baseless.
