The 82 texts were among more than 2,300 messages from Mr Meadows received by CNN, revealing that Mr Hannity was initially a staunch supporter of Biden’s efforts to cancel his election victory before he was “fed up”. The couple discussed the involvement of Fox News CEO Susan Scott in promoting the so-called big lie that Mr. Trump won the election. And as their hopes of overturning the election results seem to be fading, Mr Hannity is proposing to start a joint venture. In an exchange on December 22, 2020, Mr. Hannity contacted Mr. Meadows seeking information about fruitless attempts to find fake ballots. “Hello my friend.

Meadows said he planned to set up a bar association that “fights electoral laws in every state and fights Biden every day, starting Jan. 20.” The text messages provide a revealing picture of the coordination between the White House and Fox News, as well as internal conflicts within the right-wing network. In a December 6 exchange, Mr. Meadows sent a link to an article in which former Fox presenter Chris Wallace sacked Health Secretary Alex Hazard after referring to Biden as a “vice president” rather than an “elected president.” . Mr Meadows said: “Doing this to try to get ratings will not work in the long run and I doubt it is even a short-term winning strategy.” The same day, Mr. Hannity replies: “I was at war with them all week. We will talk when I see you. “ He adds: “Also, if it doesn’t end the way we want it to, you and Jay and I do three things together. 1- Directing legal strategies against Biden 2- NC Real estate 3- Another job I talked to Rudy.
