‘The View’ Co-Host Reads Three Legal Notes In Under Three Minutes Following Trump AG Appointment

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin had to read three legal notes on-air in under three minutes Friday while discussing President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks.

Trump announced former Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi of Florida as his pick for attorney general after former Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration for the position. Hostin’s first two legal statements were read after the co-hosts discussed allegations of sexual misconduct by Gaetz and Fox News host Pete Hegseth, Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defense.

“I have a legal note,” Hostin said. “Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations and has not been charged with any crime. Also another legal note, Pete Hegseth’s lawyer said he paid the woman in 2023 to head off the threat of a baseless lawsuit. He had denied any wrongdoing.”

“That’s interesting,” Behar said. “Pay off the witness.”

Prior to reading the two legal notes in under 40 seconds, Hostin claimed there were allegations of bribery surrounding Bondi, who served two terms as attorney general of Florida, and her handling of Trump University.
