Unsealed court docs reveal texts between Manafort and Hannity

What they're saying: The text string featured legal advice, information exchange and flattery. The two discussed details of Manafort's criminal cases and Hannity’s on-air coverage and commentary that often highlighted special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

• In December 2017, Manafort called Hannity's “the best summary ever of the case against Mueller and his team.”

After the text exchange was made public on Friday, Hannity tweeted that: "My view of the Special Counsel investigation and the treatment of Paul Manafort were made clear every day to anyone who listens to my radio show or watches my TV show."
