Hannity promoted many conspiracy theories like "birtherism" which claims that former President Barack Obama wasn't a U.S citizen, the murder of Seth Rich and falsehoods regarding Hillary Clinton's health. Hannity was a prominent supporter of Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Hannity frequently served as an unofficial spokesman of the president, criticizing the media and attacking Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in Trump's election. 12] He was reported to have spoken to Trump frequently on the phone night of the week. He also spoke on the president's lectern during the Trump rally, and White House advisors characterized him as the "shadow" chief of staff. Forbes reports that Hannity was the most-watched host on cable news in 2018, and was among the most listened-to hosts on talk radio. This is partly due to his closeness and proximity to Trump.
