Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch told Paul Ryan, the GOP former House speaker-turned-Fox Corp. board member, how Fox News’ Sean Hannity really felt about Donald Trump in the weeks following the 2020 election.
While Hannity publicly supported the former president on his widely watched prime time show, he’d actually “been privately disgusted with Trump for weeks, but was scared to lose viewers,” Murdoch emailed Ryan in January 2021, according to court filings released Monday.
