Sean Hannity is chuckling at the fact that he appears to have the attention of the White House after a Biden operative criticized him for allowing House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to “lie” about Biden on his Monday program.

“Right here on this show, we did hit a nerve at the Biden White House. Apparently, they were watching this program last night. By the way, thank you all for watching at the White House,” Hannity joked on Tuesday evening.

The Fox talker said the White House was “triggered” by his interview with McCarthy about a possible Biden impeachment. Hannity said, “It means a lot to me that the Biden White House is watching this show, but they are clearly terrified of what is a very real impeachment inquiry.”

“Joe Biden’s White House is now lashing out and accusing Speaker McCarthy … of actually lying. Oh, considering Joe is the biggest liar, that gets interesting,” Hannity continued.

In fact, White House spokesman Ian Sams accused McCarthy of lying during Monday evening’s Hannity broadcast. In addition, his bullet point response to Hannity and McCarthy was highly deceptive.

“Last night on Hannity, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy continued lying about President Biden — making a series of plainly false, widely debunked attacks in order to promote the extreme far right’s baseless impeachment stunt that even some members of McCarthy’s own caucus are expressing concerns about pursuing,” Sams wrote, according to Mediaite.

Sams then detailed three alleged “lies” broadcast by Fox News.

“LIE #1: McCarthy told Hannity the Biden Administration has obstructed House Republican investigations, claiming: ‘We have found time and again we haven’t seen anything like this since the Nixon Administration, using their government to shut down any time we had a question.’

“LIE #2: McCarthy claimed that a ‘Russian oligarch’ gave the Bidens $3.5 million.

“LIE #3: McCarthy continued to spread lies about the FBI FD-1023 form that House Republicans have been obsessed with for months and released a few weeks ago, claiming: ‘The FBI didn’t act on their information from their informant.’”

Hannity refuted each claim with a comprehensive explanation of how Sams had lied.

First, Hannity addressed the allegation that McCarthy lied by stating that the Biden administration has “obstructed House Republican investigations.”

“Well, that’s very odd since the Republicans leading the investigations — they’ve both been on this program,” Hannity said. “[Reps.] James Comer, Jim Jordan — they say that is demonstrably true, and it started right after the GOP won their majority in the House last year.”

Hannity noted that the Treasury Department refused to provide the House Oversight Committee with suspicious activity reports on the “Biden family syndicate”

“While Biden’s Treasury Department ultimately had to cave, they were stalling for as long as possible,” he said.

Hannity also noted that when House Republicans requested the FBI to produce the FD-1023 form documenting allegations of bribery against Joe and Hunter Biden, “the FBI initially refused to even confirm its existence.”

“Then, Director [Christopher] Wray — well, he defied a legally binding subpoena and refused to produce even a redacted version of the document,” Hannity said. “It was only produced after the Republicans had to push it this far and were on the verge of holding the FBI director … in contempt.”

“Sadly, roadblocks were employed and are employed any time a Republican has requested information on the Bidens,” he said.

Regarding McCarthy’s alleged second falsehood, that a Russian oligarch gave the Bidens $3.5 million, Hannity responded to Sams with a single word: “Wow.”

“Contrary to what Mr. [Sams] would have you believe,” he said, “Hunter Biden did receive $3.5 million from the former first lady and oligarch in Moscow, according to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance.”

Hannity then cited a 2020 report authored by these committees.

“Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow. … On Feb. 14, 2014, Baturina wired $3.5 million to a Rosemont Seneca Thornton LLC bank account for a ‘consultancy agreement.’”

The investment firm Rosemont Seneca Thornton was co-founded by Hunter Biden.

Last month, Hannity reported that Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer verified the $3.5 million payment while testifying on Capitol Hill.

“Archer also testified that a few months later, in the spring of 2014, Hunter and Joe, who was at the time vice president, and this Russian oligarch — they had a beautiful dinner together at Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C.,” the Fox host said.

“Uh, Ian, do you care to explain this one?”
