Sean Hannity has said he's not a journalist, but now he wants to be treated like one in response to Congress' Jan. 6 committee's request to speak to him

Vanity Fair

“I’m not a journalist, I’m a talk show host,” the Fox News host has said in the past. But now that the Jan. 6 committee wants to chat, Hannity's attorney, Jay Sekulow, is insisting that the committee treat his client like a journalist and offer him the same protections that members of the press are afforded by the First Amendment. “We are evaluating the letter from the committee. We remain very concerned about the constitutional implications especially as it relates to the First Amendment,” wrote Sekulow. “We will respond as appropriate.” ALSO: Fox News doesn't seem to care that it was paying Hannity "millions of dollars to work for someone else."
