New York (CNN) – Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen also represents Fox News host Sean Hannity, Cohen’s attorneys said Monday afternoon.
Cohen had told the court earlier he had at least 10 clients between 2017 and 2018, including the President, and the former GOP fundraiser Elliot Broidy who acknowledged paying $1.6 million to a Playboy model with whom he had an affair.
Judge Kimba Wood ordered Cohen to attend and provide information about his clients as she weighs an emergency action by Cohen’s attorneys to stop prosecutors from reviewing more than a dozen electronic devices and documents seized during a FBI raid of Cohen’s office, home and hotel room last week.
Cohen’s lawyers had publicly identified Trump and Broidy as clients, but only revealed Hannity’s name after the judge ordered them to.

A judge orders Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen to reveal the name of a client who wished to be unnamed. It's Sean Hannity. https://t.co/whxVdHtbmX

#NSA friends tell me they have Hannity in OPERATIONAL calls with known RIS agents. Team Mueller has it all. He is going down. SAD!

Fox has serious questions to answer about why Hannity was allowed to rant on the Cohen raid without disclosing this. Did they not know?https://t.co/Ku3H3hdjGx

Sean Hannity called the raid of Michael Cohen’s files “mission creep” and a “fishing expedition.” “If he has access to everything that his personal attorney has, I can only imagine where that’s going to lead.” A week later it would lead to him. https://t.co/DoT6y6RY4W

We report without disclosing major conflicts of interest.

FOX news seems to have become one of the more corrupt and dirty news organization. They hitched their wagon to Donald Trump and it has destroyed any credibility they had. Between Trump propaganda and all of the sexual harassment issues there I cannot see one compelling reason why anyone would want to rely on them for news.
No wonder Hannity was upset over the FBI raid. LOL
Granny, I pared down my cable to the bare minimum, which means no more cable news, including Fox News. I feel sooooo much better not watching or listening to all those charlatans.
Now's a good time to remind that Hannity routinely pushes noxious #deza that's literally written by Kremlin/RIS. https://t.co/u8sDyPDCDg

Then there's Hannity's curious relationship with Assange…. https://t.co/uUdVwNyMQr
— John Schindler (@20committee) April 16, 2018
"Hannity+Assange have been in touch frequently enough that Assange could refer to 'other channels' of communication w/o further explanation"
— John Schindler (@20committee) April 16, 2018
I've told you for months that Hannity has been under CI investigation over his clandestine ties to RIS. Now you see why.
— John Schindler (@20committee) January 30, 2018
So: Hannity's in regular contact with RIS via Assange, pushes RIS #deza on-air & shares a Red Mafiya "lawyer" with Trump. Totes normal.

.@jaketapper: The judge forced Michael Cohen to admit in court he has a third client. And the third client is Sean Hannity.

Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective.

Sean Hannity just explained on his radio show that his conversations with Michael Cohen were privileged because, "I might have handed [Cohen] 10 bucks and said, I definitely want privilege on that."

In response to some wild speculation, let me make clear that I did not ask Michael Cohen to bring this proceeding on my behalf, I have no personal interest in this proceeding, and, in fact, asked that my de minimis discussions with Michael Cohen,

Sean Hannity says he never paid Cohen for services. If true that makes Cohen the most generous attorney in New York, paying $130K in hush money to his client’s lover out of his own pocket & working for Hannity pro bono. The man is a giver.

It was revealed Monday in a court hearing that Michael Cohen had done secret legal work for Fox News host Sean Hannity, who asked that his name not be disclosed. Here are six times the commentator defended Cohen https://t.co/Yrp0wOpppc pic.twitter.com/MkNKQm12Jf

Why is anyone surprised @seanhannity is a client of Michael Cohen's?
Hannity doesn't work for @FoxNews. He works for Trump.

Old and busted: "I did not have sex, with that woman, Miss Lewinskii."
New hotness: "I never retained Cohen in the tradition sense"
