Jay Sekulow, an attorney for Fox News host Sean Hannity, said that any request would raise serious constitutional issues, including First Amendment concerns.

According to New York magazine, Trump and Hannity spoke almost every day after the show aired, with Hannity telling Trump he was doing a good job.

The first public suggestion that the White House was in contact with Hannity was made by the texts to Meadows. They were part of a lot of documents that was handed over to the committee. The committee was asking for information that should be shielded by executive privilege, and that's why Meadows stopped cooperating with the investigation. The full House voted December 14 to recommend the Justice Department indict Meadows for contempt, after the committee voted to hold him in contempt.
