Fox News host Sean Hannity ended Tuesday's episode of his podcast, "Hang Out with Sean Hannity," with a disclaimer that some political analysts flagged as "notable."The 90-minute episode featured an interview with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche that spanned several conspiracy theories about alleged Democratic conspiracies to charge President Donald Trump with crimes. The allegations became so caustic that producers felt the need to slap a disclaimer at the end of the video before it was published on YouTube. "John Brennan, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Matthew Colangelo, Arthur Engoron and James Clapper have not been charged with any crimes in connection with any alleged conspiracy,'" the disclaimer reads in part. "Charges against James Comey related to alleged false statements and obstruction have been dismissed. There have been no findings that Rod Rosenstein, Tim Walz, Gavin Newsom or Jacob Frey engaged in professional misconduct." The interview was published at a time when the Trump Department of Justice is facing significant criticism for its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and for its attempt to create a $1.776 billion fund to pay the president's allies for claims that they were mistreated by the government. On Tuesday, Blanche faced a storm of questions about his handling of the Epstein files during a House Appropriations Committee hearing. Blanche also threw cold water on the administration's pursuit of the $1.776 billion fund, telling lawmakers that the administration has abandoned efforts to establish it. Alex Mallin described the disclaimer as "notable" in a post on X. "Legal must’ve been threatening to kill themselves if they got producers to agree to this," Greg Gonzalez, legal counsel for the free speech group FIRE, posted on X.
