The diametrically opposed Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow provided a lens into how viewers are taking in the Mueller report.
Tourists visit the White House with her family, Friday March 22, 2019, in Washington, as news breaks that special counsel Robert Mueller has concluded his investigation into Russian election interference and possible coordination with associates of President Donald Trump. The Justice Department says Mueller delivered his final report to Attorney General William Barr, who is reviewing it. Mueller's report, still confidential, sets the stage for big public fights to come.
Fox News Channel’s Hannity, a close Trump ally, focused on reports there will be no additional indictments from Mueller. “What is Maddow and all the other MSNBC conspiracy theorists, what are they going to ever do now?” he said. In meticulous fashion, she detailed how the news that Mueller’s investigation had concluded was reported and what a letter by Attorney General William Barr meant about what will be released to the public. Democrats in Congress have already demanded the full report be released and that they see background materials; Maddow read a letter by Schiff about that on the air.
Many Fox News Channel guests, not just Hannity, focused on that detail on Friday evening. Former Trump aide Corey Lewandowski called it “a very clear signal that this entire hoax is over.”
