‘I Did Not Believe It for One Second’: Hannity Testifies Under Oath He Didn’t Buy Trump Election Fraud Claim
Dec 22, 2022 02:55:50 #
Now the question begged is why the narrative about voter fraud--and fraud by Dominion--didn't exist within Fox News and wasn't spread to Fox's general viewership if hoasts such as Hannity knew the claims were bogus?

Sean Hannity testified under oath in a deposition that he did not believe former President Donald Trump’s claims about voting machine fraud in the 2020 election, according to a piece published by the New York Times on Wednesday.
The Fox News host responded to a question about allegations made by Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor who represented Trump in election-related lawsuits. Trump falsely claimed the election was rigged against him. Powell alleged that states that used voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems were rife with fraud.
She reiterated the claim on Hannity’s Fox News program on Nov. 30, 2020, a couple of weeks after the election was called for Joe Biden. Powell stated there had been “corruption all across the country, in countless districts.”
Trump has baselessly alleged the voting machines “deleted” votes for him and in some cases “switched” votes for him to Biden.
Dominion is suing Fox News for defamation and is seeking $1.6 billion in restitution. The company is also suing Powell.
Exclusive: Trump lawyer allegedly urged WH aide to mislead Jan. 6 cmte
At the center of this imagined plot were machines from Dominion Voting Systems, which Ms. Powell claimed ran an algorithm that switched votes for Mr. Trump to votes for Joseph R. Biden Jr. Dominion machines, she insisted, were being used “to trash large batches of votes.”
Mr. Hannity interrupted her with a gentle question that had been circulating among election deniers, despite a lack of supporting proof: Why were Democrats silencing whistle blowers who could prove this fraud?
Did Mr. Hannity believe any of this?
“I did not believe it for one second.”
That was the answer Mr. Hannity gave, under oath, in a deposition in Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, according to information disclosed in a court hearing on Wednesday. The hearing was called to address several issues that need to be resolved before the case heads for a jury trial, which the judge has scheduled to begin in April.
The paper went on to say that Hannity’s testimony “is among the strongest evidence yet to emerge publicly that some Fox employees knew that what they were broadcasting was false.”
Lawyers for Dominion argued in court on Wednesday that “not a single Fox witness” has substantiated the allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
“Many of the highest-ranking Fox people have admitted under oath that they never believed the Dominion lies,” said one attorney.
Another lawyer for Dominion said the company had evidence that Fox News tried to stop Powell via the Trump White House from spreading her election fraud claims:
Another previously unknown detail emerged on Wednesday about what was going on inside the Fox universe in those frantic weeks after the election. A second lawyer representing Dominion, Justin Nelson, told Judge Davis about evidence obtained by Dominion showing that an employee of the Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, had tried to intervene with the White House to stop Ms. Powell. According to Mr. Nelson, that employee called the fraud claims “outlandish” and pressed Mr. Trump’s staff to get rid of Ms. Powell, who was advising the president on filing legal challenges to the results.
Fox News declined to comment to the Times and Mediaite.

Who cares? Well, I would imagine the cons who STILL believe that voter fraud existed would care. Of course, you are clearly too smart to have ever fallen for that whole voter fraud canard so perhaps you should declare in a very clear voice that Trump lied and voter fraud never existed as Fox hoasts such as Hannity clearly always knew!

Read your article...
Hannity made no such claim...
The lawsuit is in connection to the machines...
Hannity has repeatedly called the election fraudulent...
I personally can't recall him saying it was due to Dominion....
But I rarely listen to his show...
There's a world of difference between saying that one comparison innocent and that an election was fraud free...

I'm far more interested in the Biden fraud, laptop and my border problem.
You..... you just keep worrying about years old shit that doesn't matter except to fluff some liberal smoothe spot on that addled mind.
To that I say........ just shut up.

Yeah just like there was no election fraud in AZ either that allowed Hobbs to count the votes and strong-arm the election officials to back her lies or go to jail. Well it's all hitting the fan now. Why do you think Biden just tried to pass same day voter registration and mail in ballots? Pull your head out of Bidens ass.

Based on that statement above, there was no evidence that Hannity said that the Dominion machines was the problem. "His statement was this:
Why were Democrats silencing whistle blowers who could prove this fraud?
Let the process takes place, to be proven. That is not saying that Hannity claimed the Dominion machine created fraud.
It is up to the whistle blowers to stand the process proving the fraud. But Hannity did not make a statement that the Dominion machine created fraud.
That's a process to be done to be proven by the Whistle blowers.
No fraudulent claim was specified on this. They just want to bankrupt Fox news. I think Biden hates Murdock the owner of FoxNews .
I think Ms. Powell may have a problem unless she can prove her statement.

This is one of the evils of politics. That is why I never want to enter political job.
I hope Hannity does not leave FoxNews.
I will continue to work on that Election Procedure to eliminate all these legal problems and to make the election cleaner without spending too much time to finalize results. I hope Congress will approve it. If not that's their problem. At least we could eliminate some of the illegal and fradulent ways and to make clean election results.
