President Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, "was in court today, desperately trying to keep his very small client list private," Jimmy Kimmel said on Monday's Kimmel Live. He had three clients — Trump, for whom he paid off porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about their alleged affair; Elliot Broidy, on whose behalf Cohen paid a Playboy model $1.6 million after she became pregnant during an extramarital affair; and mystery Client No. 3. "And shockingly, that client turned out to be my pal Sean Hannity of Fox News," Kimmel said.
"Besides the implications that are raised, it's a big deal because Sean Hannity's been, like, the chief propaganda guy for Trump's legal team," Kimmel said, and "he never disclosed that he is also represented by a member of that legal team. If this is the biggest witch hunt in history, as they say it is, we're running out of spots on the broomstick."
