FILE – In this April 12, 2018 file photo, FOX News personality Sean Hannity attends The Hollywood Reporter’s annual 35 Most Powerful People in Media event in New York. Hannity wants his viewers to put a New York Times article on the special counsel investigation of President Donald Trump “in your fireplace and burn it.” Heâ€™s instead offering a tutorial on the importance of reading. The Times’ story on a list of questions that Special Counsel Robert Mueller wanted to put to Trump in a potential interview upended cable newscasts Monday night, including Hannity’s Fox News Channel show. Hannity denigrated the Times’ use of anonymous sources, as did Trump, who tweeted Tuesday that the leak was â€œdisgraceful.â€ (Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP, File) NYET218 NYET218
