Paul Manafort had a lot of late-night chats with Sean Hannity, these court-released texts seemingly show

The judge handling Manafort's case unsealed 56 pages of instant messages on Friday with someone who appears to be the Fox News host and ally of President Trump. They're chock full of reciprocated pleas for phone calls to discuss unspecified "info," and some pretty blatant references to the Mueller investigation and people in Trump's orbit.
