Before Monday’s hearing in a case related to the federal raid of his office and hotel room, Donald Trump adviser/lawyer Michael Cohen’s attorneys indicated that Cohen had three clients in 2017: Trump, Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy, and a mystery third person who wished to remain anonymous.

NEW: Michael Cohen says he gave legal advice to three clients in the last year: Donald Trump, GOP fundraiser Eilliott Broidy and a third person he refuses to identify in court filing — Laura Litvan (@LauraLitvan) April 16, 2018

Given that Cohen’s work for Broidy involved a Playboy model, an extramarital affair, and an alleged abortion—and that his work for Trump involved similar alleged themes, minus the abortion—it stood to reason that the third client had good reason to want to remain anonymous. Well, the name of the third client was just disclosed. And … yes. My God:

Michael Cohen's previously unnamed third client is SEAN HANNITY. — erica orden (@eorden) April 16, 2018

That’s right, the same Sean Hannity who has been complaining about the investigation into Trump’s potential legal misconduct—in which Cohen was a key figure even before the Stormy Daniels story broke—for more than a year without mentioning that Cohen is his lawyer. (Update, 4:40 p.m.: One of his lawyers.) Here’s how he reacted to the Cohen raid:

Lol. LOL! Aside from the sheer shock value, it is interesting to consider how this fits into previous reporting regarding Cohen’s tight professional relationship with the publisher of the National Enquirer, which, like Hannity, has given Trump very favorable coverage and has been aggressive in attacking his political rivals. For all the talk that emits from the right wing about liberal media bias, we appear to be learning here about a right-wing/media alliance that involves not just bias but literal legal and business partnerships.

Also, for what it’s worth:

3. A source familiar with the representation tells CNN that what Hannity hired Cohen for did not involve a 3rd party - meaning an NDA involving a woman etc. — Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) April 16, 2018

And:

Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective. — Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) April 16, 2018

In response to some wild speculation, let me make clear that I did not ask Michael Cohen to bring this proceeding on my behalf, I have no personal interest in this proceeding, and, in fact, asked that my de minimis discussions with Michael Cohen, — Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) April 16, 2018

which dealt almost exclusively about real estate, not be made a part of this proceeding. — Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) April 16, 2018

We’ll see! For what it’s worth, Hannity’s statement—at least to this layperson, though Internet lawyers agree—would seem to be inconvenient to Cohen, who is currently trying to prove to a judge that some of the materials seized in the raid should be protected by attorney-client privilege despite the degree to which the bulk of his work for Trump, at least, evidently involved brokering business transactions and performing public relations tasks rather than providing legal services.
