38. So this allegation comes from a Hannity interview?

Where he (Hannity) allegedly got a call from Trump offering such a thing, from the internets (because the OP didn't add any context) :

And Trump has said, if Fetterman does, he’d reciprocate. In his typical unsubtle fashion, the president conveyed as much to Sean Hannity in March and asked Hannity to play intermediary.

When Fetterman sat for an interview with the Fox host the next day, Hannity delivered the pitch, recounting Trump’s marching orders nearly verbatim.

“‘Your job is to tell him: He’s gonna run as a Republican, he’s gonna have our full support, more money than he ever dreamed of, and he’s gonna win big,’” Hannity told Fetterman, recalling Trump’s instructions.
