Hannity defends his investments after report details his real estate deals https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/23/sean-hannity-real-estate-545637
The Fox News host said he "had no role in, or responsibility for, any HUD involvement in any of these investments."
Sean Hannity pushed back against what he described as an attack on his personal investments on Monday after The Guardian reported the Fox News host received assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development in several multimillion dollar property deals.
"It is ironic that I am being attacked for investing my personal money in communities that badly need such investment and in which, I am sure, those attacking me have not invested their money," Hannity wrote in a blog post on his website. "The fact is, these are investments that I do not individually select, control, or know the details about; except that obviously I believe in putting my money to work in communities that otherwise struggle to receive such support."
The newspaper reported on Sunday that Hannity bought two apartment complexes in Georgia for $22.7 million in 2014. Hannity, according to the report, funded the purchases with mortgages totaling $17.9 million that HUD insured through the National Housing Act program.
The Fox News host wrote Monday that he "never discussed with anybody at HUD the original loans that were obtained in the Obama years, nor the subsequent refinance of such loans, as they are a private matter" and that he "had no role in, or responsibility for, any HUD involvement in any of these investments."
Hannity added that all proper protocols were followed for the loans.
The Guardian noted that Hannity did not disclose the federal assistance while "praising" Ben Carson, the Trump administration's HUD secretary, on his program last year.
Hannity came under intense scrutiny last week when he was named in court as the third client to Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's longtime personal attorney.
While the Fox News host denied that Cohen ever formally represented him, he acknowledged the pair had held informal legal discussions. Hannity tweeted that the talks were "almost exclusively about real estate."
The developments prompted an investigation by The Guardian into the extent of Hannity's real estate portfolio, which unearthed his connection to a vast web of properties. The report, the culmination of a deep dive into thousands of public records, found the Fox News host was linked to shell companies that spent at least $90 million over the past 10 years to acquire more than 870 homes.
