Newly revealed text messages show that U.S. Attorney and former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro complained about Sean Hannity being an egomaniac and bragged about helping President Donald Trump and the Republican Party while she was a Fox News host, according to a court filing. Pirro is at the center of a defamation lawsuit brought by Smartmatic against the network. The filing was first reported on Tuesday night by The Washington Post, which noted that Fox News bars its on-air talent from political involvement. Pirro is now the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in Trump's Department of Justice.
