New text messages reveal Fox News host Sean Hannity consulted with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in an effort to turn out more voters for former President Trump during the 2020 election.
Contained in a massive trove of text messages Meadows turned over to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol are text messages between the Fox prime-time host and Meadows, CNN reported.
On the afternoon of the election, the outlet reported, Hannity texted Meadows and asked him how turnout was looking in North Carolina.
“Stress every vote matters,” Meadows reportedly wrote back. “Get out and vote.”
“Yes sir,” Hannity responded. “On it. Any place in particular we need a push.”
“Pennsylvania. NC AZ,” Meadows added. “Nevada.”
“Got it. Everywhere,” Hannity answered.
The text messages between one of Fox’s top hosts and the former president’s chief of staff are a small portion of a wide-ranging report by CNN showing how members of Trump’s inner circle worked to boost his reelection efforts before, during and after the Jan. 6 attack.
