monday. smugness , have a great weekend. >> sean: welcome to hannity. tonight a bombshell report from the hill's john solomon and allison c-span, now according to their lisa bloom secured a cash payment interest for a trump accuser and attempt to arrange huge compensation for another potential accuser just days h before the election in 2016. this entire story is shocking. tonight we have very a serious question why would she do this to make is a is a dirty politics, is it undermined to destroy president trump's campaign, and will bloom's actions make it harder for all the real victims of sexual
10:01 pm
misconduct to come forward in the future. we will cover all of that and more into nights breaking news opening monologue. john solomon's exclusive report it's sitting check waves all across the country tonight. here's the headline. exclusive, prominent lawyers sought, donor cash for two trump accusers. from the report are beyond stunning. well-known, women's rights attorney, lisa bloom, attempted to arrangege cash compensation from donors and media outlets for women, who came forward for women who are considering coming forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against donald trump in the lead up to the election. "the hill" is exploding lisa bloom wanted women to pay her commissions as high as 33% as she was able to sell their stories to media outlets. in a statement to "the hill,"nd bloom said she did secure and attempted to secure these kind of payments.
10:02 pm
bloom noted, obtaining money was not part of an effort to pressure women to speak out with accusations. now bloom also told "the hill," the money was to use to relocate clients if they do not feel saf safe. bloom said, she did not contact hillary clinton or her campaign, but bloom did not want to tell the hill, of possible misdemeanor case and, had with super pacs tied to hillary clinton. and finally, she added, she never encouraged the women featured in the "the hill" article to say things they do not wantn to be true, and the women confirm that. we also reach out to bloom for comment, and she responded to our request by attacking john solomon and that it is about a right-wing smear. bloom confirmed all the major parts of this breaking story. this includes, bloom securing money for tropic user.
10:03 pm
she gives donald trump and filed a lawsuit against them in 1997. shesh got that lawsuit. this is what "the hill" is reporting, which she both confirmed. now she says, that in fact, she did not initially ask bloom for money, even though her business, she claimed, was suffering from stories about her accusations. at some point, later in the relationship, bloomio secured wt "the hill" says, a small payment from licensing photos to news outlets. and bloomom also said she has a golf on the page. "the hill" is reporting that bloom wanted hearth to have 8:30 $8,000 payment to help her pay off her mortgage. jill hearth did tell "the hill," takingng the money did not affet the veracity. we did reach out to jill hearth, she did not answer our request. "the hill" also spoke to another woman, pay close attention. she chooses to be anonymous.
10:04 pm
this woman, told "the hill"'s john solomon that she is a friend of jill and was pressed by lisa bloom to go public with her accusations of sexual misconduct against donald trump from the 1990s. before we get into those detail details, it is importantha to know, this woman supported trump in 2016 and his friends with people close to the president including one of his attorneys. the woman stressed to "the hill," nobody connected to the president to reveal details with with's before. she spoke out against lisa bloom, she was disgusted by the fact that bloom served as harvey weinstein's attorney when the sexual l, sexual misconduct investigation. with the dash she brought emails, that lisa bloom had a very strong anti-trump bias. she also revealed to "the hill,"
10:05 pm
bloom had a deadline for her to speak out before the 2016 election per the timeline proves this. the woman also detail to "the hill," bloom offered her $10,000 in the form of a donation to a favored church. this is where it gets interesting. as the election got closer and closer and closer, and the poles got tighter and tighter, bloom increased the offer from 10,000 to $50,000 interpersonal payment. and then went to $100,000. and then went to $200,000. and then two days, november 6, 2016, 2 days before the election, it went $750,000. what this means is, lisa bloom was offering a fortune. right before you, the american people, you were going to choose who the next american prison was going to be. the woman said to the hill, she decided, how much money would he offered indian? bloom claims, the unnamed woman as for a one point come at $2.
10:06 pm
but bloom said, that was a nonstarter. here'sno the timeline of how all that played out. pay close attention. she contacted the woman's friend, butt the friend did not put the woman on the phone come up she was in hospital bed. then took a flight in a attempt to see the woman. all the way to virginia from california. and then the next day, bloom was able to connect to the woman. and then bloom sent this text message. here's what is quoted in the "the hill" report. i am confused, because you sent me so many nice text wednesday night after my other client wasted so much of my time and canceled the press conference they texted on november 5th 2016, that meant a lot to me. thursday, you said, you wanted to do this if you could be protected and relocated. i begged you not to jerk me around after what had just gone through. a little later she added another text. you treated me very poorly. i have treated you with great
10:07 pm
respect as much as humanly possible. i've not made a dime off your case, and i've devoted a great deal of time. it does not matter. i have -- i could have done so much, but you cannot stick to your word, even when you swear you will. two days before the election, november 6, when the woman left the hospital, she agreed to sit down with bloom in a hotel room, and that is where according to the woman, two days before the election, bloom offered the whopping sum of $750,000. the woman still declined to take it. to all of us, this whole thing is beyond stunning. what if it had happened? logical person can only conclude that this was about politics or lisa bloom at least. imagine for a second, it destroyed came out on november the sixth, right before the election? would bloom have acknowledged that this woman received all that money to tell her story? i doubt it. how would any campaign be able
10:08 pm
to deal with that, and at least have a chance to make their case? talk about november surprises. this is one that would be for the record books. i want to make one thing clear. as you know if you watch this program, regularly, sexual misconduct and abuse, is a widespread problem in this country. we know it is true. i am the father of a daughter. i have sisters. it scares me. it is morally repugnant when it happens, it needs to stop. it has no place in our society. we have said that repeatedly. months on the show. victims of sexual misconduct deserve toto be believed. and also as we have been saying for months, any person that is accused of this type of behavior and they deny it, they too deserve the presumption of innocence. i have said that in the case of democrats and republicans. numerous examples that prove people cannot rush to judgment, because sometimes innocent people are hurt, because the allegations are flat out. example in point.
10:09 pm
the duke lacrosse case, those innocent. having their lives ruined. richard in atlanta, accused of being the 1996 atlanta olympic bomber. he did not do it. ferguson, missouri, michael brown. the mantra, hands up, do not iu, that was a lie. freddy gray and baltimore, the media told you, those cops would be convicted, and none of them were. what lisa bloom or did or attempted to do. bloom's claims to be a champion of women's rights, voice to the voices, but to "the hill," she did secure a cash payment from speech by seven to pay off the mortgage, and another had huge a payment from a different woman. this is the same donald trump that bloom had hatred for an reporting in "the hill." all this raises very serious questions. not only about lisa bloom and her motivations, but also other
10:10 pm
issues, how will the public to with ischemic is lisa bloom interested in helping women here or was the real goal, as you can see to the timeline and the money going up and up and up, and a push to the election, was a spot stopping donald trump from winning the white house? why was bloom in contact with donors? what donors? who are they? with a tide in any way to hillary clinton? these accusations are so serious, this should all be above politics. we asked legal analyst gregg jarrett about all of this, and here's what he told us. while it is not illegal to ask someone to donate money for a person to tell a story, it can be a crime if that money is intended to influence someone to lie in a court proceeding. a raises another question.he lisa bloom says, she vented these women appeared my question, okay, how carefully did you bet them? shows the information. we like to see the vetting, the dates, the times, specific
10:11 pm
examples. the story is huge. it is a much larger pattern of attacks against the president. we have told you about destroyed trump forces to destroy this president. he's also been reporting, unlike the rest of the "destroyed trump media" trying to take down the president. the surveillance, unmasking of trump and associates by the obama administration. we have the clinton bought and paid for, fake news, russian propaganda salacious dossier. they wanted that to be used to influence the election. and this week, fox news obtained the anti-trump text messages between peter strzok and his girlfriend, lisa page, discussing the insurance policy against donald trump winning the election. what was the insurance policy? then you have the special counsel, robert mueller's team. they had been exposed and
10:12 pm
corrupted, abusively by us. incapable of conducting a fair investigation. the list goes on and on. and "the hill"'s article raises more questions for joining us now, the journalist who worked hard, broke the story, wide-open from "the hill," john solomon. let's go through the step by step.e you see the timeline from october 14th to make november 6. in the pressure that being brought to bear on this woman to go forward becomes astronomical the payment gets astronomically high. walk us through it. >>hr i never thought i would lie today as a reporter when we are talking about the same personal decision of women to possibly come forward with allegations of sexual harassment or assault and it be turned into a game of montyht hall appeared behind her one, week or month before, i have $10,000 for your church. closer to the election, i $50,000 for you. behind or three, i have 100,000.
10:13 pm
200,000 behind door four. five, $750,000. it is an extraordinary thing. you see this woman struggling. she is personal thing she wants to worry about, and security of her daughter, and the more of that up, the more that she has to struggle with the decision appeared take the money and do what i think is best? it is and is furnished for a come i never thought we would live to see the day, were money was being thrown around like it was some sort of dealmaking. >> sean: we also note lisa bloom has huge bias here. it seems it could have been -- it could have unfolded before the country. let's say $750,000 was paid to this woman. how does anybody -- how does the public absorb this, vet this, and the public did not know about the payments.
10:14 pm
>> it's a great question. since the story broke, there is a question, if the donor's intention, given this money to help the woman also in hopes of influencing the election, it might've been considered under the jurisdiction of campaign donation. as a whole another angle to this that we will have to report out and talk to lawyers and try to understand. there is no doubt the election was ati deadline given to the women. that is not in dispute. if the donor's intention, they have been told this may help the election if you help these women comeom forward, it could raise election issues that have not been raised in the public. >> sean: let me go down this road. this is very, very important. i do not know what the answer is. if this had happened in the public did not know about the payment, something like this in my mind having followed election my whole adult life changed the result of the r election. that is how profound this is. that is why you do not have an
10:15 pm
opportunity to vent an accusation like this two days before an election, do you? >> no, that's a good point. remember, one of the women who did come forward, she did get something of value. she got her mortgage paid off. money did change has been something did a value occur to one of the accusers. i can take tonight, shawn, i'm walking on this. b this may not be the only path of request for money. there appears to be another line where an accuser may have saw a job or an investment frome. donald trump before their story of sexual harassment became public. we aretme continuing to date, bt the money was here, you have to start look if it happened in other places as well. some of our reporting indicates, and people tune into "the hill" the next couple days, they may learn more information. >> sean: y you brought up a lot about the super pacs associated in favor of hillary clinton. and then an outright denial, wouldn't answer the question that she had talked to them. we have noted with this money came from. >>e she is clear, do not talk to
10:16 pm
hillary clinton campaign, didn't talk to the democrats, national media. the t text messages, and they sy she did. the woman who did not come forward, but considering the offer side, we heard that if wef help hillary clinton, there might be something for us. can you explain if the super pacs can help us, and shes said, i just talked to the, they're not willing to pay right now. i can tell your story. that is another part of the clinton -- >> sean: did she say she never does she did this pro bono. >> she always did, and you learn what pro bono really meant, i get 33% commission if i sell your story to the media, and you begin to think, a woman, her very painful story and concerns about their own well-being and doing this. it's a commodity. it is a commodity being sold. >> sean: i have heard all these rumors. lot of people have about tapes. have you heard anything aboutin that, in my last question, what is next as this story ---- mores

one bad cop, people want to eat -- to be forget about the 99.9%? same at the fbi same with intelligence officials. those that work hard to protect us come up the lives on the line every day, sarah, but when you have the head of the fbi, james comey, working with peter strzok, and they are writing an exoneration of political intent before they do their investigation. that is not equal justice under the law. peter s strzok thinks god appointed him to save the country, and they are building insurance policies in case trump wins, this is corruption. i think at the highest level we have ever seen. your reaction? >> i have talked to field agents today. a number of field agents. retired fbi agents, and at the same sentiment as harth. people -- we've seen on the seventh floor. he listens over and over again.
10:50 pm
you know see this type of behavior withinh the fbi.av we just told blaine. you know, sean, what was even more interesting to me, they were telling me, they were at an event, all these field agents, they said, everybody was worried about russia collusion with tom. instead, fbi collusion with clinton. that is how they are feeling. >> sean: sebastian gorka, i know how you feel about law enforcement. we all feel the same way. this is real collusion. this is real corruption. there is no other way to describe what comey and peter strzok did. the fix was in. the fix was in months before he did his investigation. to me, if i am james comey tonight, i am peter strzok tonight, i am thinking, i have to hire the best lawyers d.c. has. >> sean, sarah is absolutely right. my personal experience, i have worked closely with thousands of agents and analyst.
10:51 pm
i was at the white house with the christmas celebration. soso wasn't of the agent from tw fbi had at least 20, 25 years in. he recognized me and came up to me and he said, the bureau's reputation is shocked. it's not because of the people who are protecting us on the streets, the terrorism task forces, it's because of a handful of bad apples, bent cops corrupt cops. sean, the saddest thing is, regain the documents now. i've seen emails of collusion in the fbi to protect hillary clinton come up because i think the next president. i am seen names of agents i highly respected and have worked with, who once they got to the seventh floor, sean, that is it under the obama administration, they became political hacks. this could take years to rebuild the fbi. the president said it today. he will rebuild it, and he canks rebuild it. >> sean: it needs to be
10:52 pm
rebuild. the top people, formal obama people within the intelligence community, before this is all said and done, i believe this house of cards falls. your story yesterday about reverse targeting come of the misuse of the powerful tools of intelligences that we give the intelligence community, that you reported, sarah, that does not even get into the dossier issue. bought and paid for by hillary, salacious russian began to lyse do influence an election. that does not get into the uranium one deal. i am not sure how we entangle all this. your thoughts? >> the best way to do that, one step at a time. one story at a time, sean. one investigation at a time. that is what we have done over the past year, and that is why we see this yarn unraveling, peeling back the onion as you always say. one layer at a time. and now, you brought up the dossier. such a great point. we have seen now, ohr's wife was
10:53 pm
hired by fusing gpssi to help wh this dossier -- it's an incredible step. we would have never discovered this had we not found it one sporadic time. and i think we need to continue that, the factual, find those facts, present them so we can clean up our system. thisisbe is still the greatest country on earth. wen still have -- >> sean: intelligence misuse, people are paying people for stories. dossier from russia being used, the misuse of intelligence. it is literally -- we are more with the bribery and kickbacks, extortion, money laundering, 28% of our uranium is given away. none of this comes to full resolution, sebastian gorka. >> it well. the story that is coming out thanks to sarah and john and you, sean.
10:54 pm
>> sean: and you. >> i am not doing the heavy lifting. sarah is right. she stole my thunder. we are the greatest nation on god's earth. we are also the most powerful earth.on god's you stop tohen weaponize law enforcement, you start to political weaponize like john brennan, the last administration, eric holder, is more dangerous than anything you can imagine. and that is why, we have to step in now, people have to be investigated and prosecuted. splenda separates us from a police state. we do not get these issues resolved, and the deep state, illegally surveilling americans. we shred the fourth amendment protections for the constitution. we will lose the country. this is not a game we are talking about. these are severe violations of law, and it all needs to come to a head. we can become a big announcement
