Hannity—who once invited Assange to host his radio show—said the activist's case brings up 'a fascinating legal issue about the freedom of the press in this country.'
Fox News host Sean Hannity gave a spirited defense of detained WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange on Thursday, claiming his organization's track record was far more impressive than that of the mainstream media.
The Fox News star, who reportedly deleted all tweets referring to Assange and WikiLeaks as the Australian was taken into custody on Thursday, first defended President Donald Trump’s claim that he knew “nothing about WikiLeaks,” despite the evidence proving otherwise. Hannity claimed the comment simply meant he was leaving all decisions regarding Assange to the Department of Justice.
Hannity—who once invited Assange to host his radio show—said the activist’s case brings up “a fascinating legal issue about the freedom of the press in this country.” Indictments from, and reporting on Mueller's investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election have shown that Russian hackers, linked to the country’s military intelligence directorate , were involved in stealing the DNC and Podesta emails.
