Sean Hannity responded to recent developments that he had been named as Trump attorney Michael Cohen's third "client."
Judge Kimba Wood, a federal judge in Lower Manhattan, N.Y., ordered Cohen's attorneys to name the third person whom Cohen had listed as a client - besides President Trump and a former GOP finance chairman.
Stephen Ryan testified that Hannity was Cohen's third client.
Hannity responded to the ensuing media reportage, telling his audience that Cohen never represented him in any legal matter and that he never "retained [Cohen's] services."
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.

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,

which dealt almost exclusively about real estate, not be made a part of this proceeding.

He said he has asked Cohen for "input and perspective" in matters mostly relating to real estate, in which the attorney is well-versed.
Hannity said the conversations "never rose to any level that I needed to tell anyone that I was asking him questions."

He said he has no personal interest in the Cohen matter.
Hannity said the media should instead focus on the "forgotten men and women" of America, the economy and national security.
