CBS News reports:
Sean Hannity addressed the revelation of his name in court on Monday, telling listeners on his radio show that Cohen “never represented me in any matter” and that he occasionally sought’s Cohen’s advice on legal matters.
“I never retained him in the traditional sense as retaining a lawyer, I never received an invoice from Michael, I never paid legal fees to Michael, but I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective.”
Hannity said he assumed the conversations between himself and Cohen were “attorney-client confidential” but made clear on his show “not one of any issue I ever dealt with Michael Cohen on ever involved a matter between me and any third party.”

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.

So @seanhannity was never Michael Cohen’s client, but he has a right to attorney–client privilege.
That’s some hot mess they’ve got themselves into here.

Sean Hannity just explained on his radio show that his conversations with Michael Cohen were privileged because, "I might have handed [Cohen] 10 bucks and said, I definitely want privilege on that."
