Fox News host Sean Hannity had a verbal stumble at the exact wrong moment on Monday night when he was introducing Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump, who was recently hired by the right-wing network.

President Donald Trump looked like he was hung out to dry by Elon Musk and ally Sean Hannity, with the two men ignoring him and speaking over him in the latest instalment of the Fox News host’s high-profile sit-down with the pair.

Elsewhere in the duo’s Hannity interview, Musk described criticism of his efforts to strip federal agencies as a nonelected, special government employee, as the “thrashing of the bureaucracy as we try to restore democracy and the will of the people.”

While interviewing President Donald Trump and his BFF Elon Musk, Sean Hannity was criticized by netizens for how he conducted the discussion.

Perhaps the most unexpected thing about Sean Hannity’s hour-long sit down with Donald Trump and Elon Musk — a first — was the initial question that the Fox News host posed to the duo. “So he’s working for free with DOGE.

The interview will be conducted at the White House ahead of time, and will focus on Musk's new Department of Government Efficiency, and its work with the Trump administration. It will mark the pair's first joint television interview.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called out hypocritical Democrats for their stance on rooting out wasteful spending, arguing Barack Obama once promised a DOGE-type effort.
