Bombshell texts reveal Jeanine Pirro is no fan of Sean Hannity, alleging he storms into the Oval Office ‘like he owns the place'
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro once labelled her fellow Fox News anchor Sean Hannity an 'egomaniac' and bragged about helping President Donald Trump, according to newly-released bombshell text messages. Pirro is at the center of a lawsuit brought by the voting machine manufacturer Smartmatic against Fox, in which the former is seeking $2.7 billion in damages for what it alleges do the network's anchors spread falsehoods and conspiracy theories about its products in the aftermath of Trump's defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Fox settled a similar defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems in 2023 for $787.5 million but has insisted that Smartmatic's suit is without merit. 'The evidence shows that Smartmatic's business and reputation were badly suffering long before any claims by President Trump's lawyers on Fox News and that Smartmatic grossly inflated its damage claims to generate headlines and chill free speech,' the network said in a statement. 'Now, in the aftermath of Smartmatic's executives getting indicted for bribery charges, we are eager and ready to continue defending our press freedoms.' The texts gathered by the company concerning Pirro were released as part of an unredacted court filing on Tuesday and paint a fascinating picture of life behind the scenes at Fox. In one message sent by Pirro in September 2020 to Ronna McDaniel, the then-chair of the Republican National Committee, she bragged, 'I work so hard for the party across the country. I'm the Number 1 watched show on all news cable all weekend. I work so hard for the President and party.' In another message on October 27, she told a friend that Hannity had stormed into the Oval Office of the White House 'like he owns the place, throws his papers on the Pres desk and says, you don't mind if I use your private bathroom, and walks into bathroom within Oval and uses it.' She continued: '[He] Looks at me and says, I got to talk to him… It's all abt him, period. No one else matters.' Smartmatic also argues in its suit that Pirro served as an information conduit to Sidney Powell, the self-styled 'Kraken' attorney at the forefront of claims that Biden's victory at the polls was achieved by fraud, citing a message in which she encourages the lawyer to 'keep fighting.' The texts further reveal that Jerry Andrews, the producer of Pirro's show Justice with Judge Jeanine, warned her against making false claims about the election on air. 'You should be very careful with this stuff and protect yourself given the ongoing calls for evidence that has not materialized,' he told her. Pirro was then angered when Fox decided against running an episode on November 7 and wrote to Hannity: 'I'M TIRED OF THE CENSORSHIP AND I'M EMBARRASSED BY HOW THEY CALLED THIS ELECTION.' Hannity replied by observing: 'Fox News promoting u every 5 seconds. It's hilarious.' According to Smartmatic, Pirro otherwise acknowledged in a deposition that the 2020 election was not stolen, agreed that it had been 'fair and free' and that the company did nothing wrong. 'I believe that there's been no showing that Smartmatic engaged in any problems,' she said, according to the filing, which also quoted her as answering 'I do' when asked by the company's lawyers whether she believed Biden was 'legitimately elected.' Elsewhere, Pirro is seen complaining to the president's son Eric Trump that her ex-husband, Albert Pirro, was not initially granted a pardon by Trump over his tax evasion conviction and calling former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik, who was granted clemency, 'a selfish bastard,' writing to Kerik's girlfriend: 'I DON'T CARE [ABOUT] ANYONE ELSE.' Other Fox anchors mentioned in the suit include Jesse Watters, who texted his fellow presenter Greg Gutfeld in December 2020: 'Think about how incredible our ratings would be if Fox went ALL in on STOP THE STEAL.' More cautious was Bret Baier, who, according to the filing, messaged executive Jay Wallace accusing Maria Bartiromo of Fox Business of airing falsehoods and declaring: 'None of that is true as far as we can tell. We need to fact-check this crap.'

Video shows ICE agents pulling man from car in Minneapolis and arresting him
Immigration agents pulled an undocumented man from the passenger seat of a car in Minneapolis on Friday. They say they arrested him because he showed "a reckless disregard for the safety of others." That dramatic arrest was caught on camera near the Walker Art Center. The video is about two minutes long and shows the struggle that ensued as concerned community members watched and recorded, including Cynthia Daggett. "They may have had a warrant, it may have been a legitimate stop, but very hard to trust that," Daggett said. Immigration and Customs Enforcement wouldn't answer if it had a warrant or not, but immigration attorney Gloria Contreras Edin says ICE is operating within the law. "It is clear that ICE has the authority to arrest someone without any written documentation handed to an individual before the arrest," Contreras Edin said. In a statement, ICE officials said: "For more than two decades, illegal alien Javier Yanez Morales, has put the public at risk for repeatedly and selfishly choosing to drink and drive, showing reckless disregard for the safety of others. This same disregard extends to immigration law which Morales has violated for just as long. Morales has been illegally entering the United States as far back as 1998, but despite being previously deported to Mexico he continued to commit crimes including domestic assault and false reporting. When ICE officers moved to take him into custody in Minneapolis, he resisted arrest. A passenger who interfered only escalated the situation, creating unnecessary danger for themselves, bystanders, and the officers." WCCO has confirmed Morales was charged with DWI with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 in July. Arrests like these are reigniting debate as federal immigration authorities promise to step up enforcement across the country, especially in sanctuary cities. "Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals," President Trump's border czar Tom Homan said. "The sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don't want, more agents in the communities and more worksite enforcement. Why is that? Because they won't let one agent arrest one bad guy to jail," Horman added. A 2017 Minneapolis city ordinance prevents city employees like police from proactive immigration enforcement. Earlier this summer, a federal raid on Lake Street raised concerns about police cooperation with ICE. An audit published earlier this month found the city did not violate its separation ordinance.
