Fox News' Sean Hannity is the latest member of Trump's inner circle to be called to testify before the Select Committee to investigate the insurrection on January 6.

Axios is reporting the committee will ask for Hannity's voluntary cooperation with their investigation.

Here is the letter from Committee Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson.

The letter contains two new texts from Hannity on December 31st to Mark Meadows. The first says, "We can't lose the entire WH counsels [sic] office. I do NOT see January 6 happening the way he is being told. After the 6th. [sic] He should announce he will lead the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity."

The second reads, "Go to Fl and watch Joe mess up daily. Stay engaged. When he speaks people will listen."

There is more. Hannity was texting ahead of January 6th about his worries that the entire WH counsel's staff would walk if Trump kept pressuring Mike Pence to overthrow the will of the voters and hand the election to Trump in a coup.

Hannity was deeply involved with Trump's administration and he will never voluntarily agree to testify to anything that serious in nature, especially if it may hurt his seditious friend.

Robert Costa of the Washington Post reported back in 2018 that Hannity "basically has a desk in the place’.

Hannity will hide behind the First Amendment to skirt any chance to be honest with Americans who deserve the truth.

No matter what Jay Sekulow claims, Hannity did not operate as a reporter or media personality when he influenced Trump during his White House tenure or when he texted Mark Meadows to try and get Trump to stop the violence at the US Capitol by his supporters on January 6th.

I remember when Hannity was used as a plant during Trump's Helsinki summit with Putin to try and deflect from Trump's embarrassing behavior.

That's not a journalist, but a sycophantic political operator, who will never, ever give any testimony against his idol.

UPDATE: Wait! There's more. There's always more...
