Hannity's foray into government backed real estate "deals"

Well Well...it looks like Hannity is the secret owner of shell companies that spent some 90 million dollars buying houses with HUD assistance. Who would have ever figured the government helped Hannity build a real estate empire. Now who’s benefiting from government assistance?
Fox News host Sean Hannity has been linked to a group of more than 20 shell companies that has spent at least $90 million buying almost 900 homes across seven states over the past decade, according to a report Sunday by The Guardian. Many of the properties were bought at discounts in 2013 after foreclosures, and others were bought with funding help from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Guardian said, citing public records. Around that time, Hannity had sharply criticized former President Barack Obama for the rate of U.S. foreclosures, and he did not disclose his financial dealings with HUD during an interview last year with HUD Secretary Ben Carson in which he complained about the state of public housing. Last week, it emerged that Hannity was a client of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, whose office was recently raided by the FBI. Hannity had not disclosed that fact, and said he only asked for Cohen's advice on some real-estate matters.
