NEW YORK (AP) – Donald Trump Jr. found the soft landing space he expected with a Sean Hannity interview. But not everyone at the normally friendly Fox News Channel was so quick to dismiss reports of his meeting with a Russian who offered campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton.
The presidential son gave a half-hour interview Tuesday to Hannity, the Fox host who has never pretended to be a journalist and made no secret of his admiration for President Donald Trump.
Hannity walked Trump through his story and didn’t appreciably challenge him.
Earlier in the day, a handful of Fox personalities weren’t buying Trump supporters’ talking points that the story is being driven by a “hysterical” mainstream media.
