“I was asked by the family of the DNC staffer that was killed in July to pull back covering the story of the death because their son, and their family was hurting,” Hannity said at the top of his show. “I was honestly glad to accommodate them, because, as a father, I know that I would probably never recover if I lost one of my kids.”

Speaking beside a fiery graphic bearing the words “Liberal Fascism,” Hannity said that while he wanted to “respect the family’s wishes,” he would “not stop investigating.”

“The family wants the truth, and I think the country deserves the truth,” Hannity said.

“Now, I can report, I am making progress,” he added. “And we will have a lot more coming, probably sooner than later.”
