WATCH: “The View” Gets Hammered with Fact-Checks, Has to Read Three Legal Notes in Under Three Minutes

ABC’s “The View” has recently had to read several “legal notes” live on air fact-checking statements made about President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks. Ever since Trump’s landslide win in the election earlier this month, the panel on the daytime talk show has lamented what the next four years holds, offering staunch criticism toward the incoming president’s cabinet appointments.

However, in a few instances, their comments were taken too far, where correction statements were read soon after to avoid legal trouble. A recent clip from “The View” shows co-hosts reading three “legal notes” in under three minutes.During the segment, co-host Sonny Hostin said, “I have a legal note…Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations and has not been charged with any crime.” Making another correction, Hostin fact-checked a statement about Trump’s cabinet pick for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth. “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 has denied any wrongdoing,” Hostin added.

Joy Behar then chimed in, “That’s interesting. Pay off the witness.” The conversation continued for several more minutes where the panel continued with its agenda. However, Sunny Hostin, the usual suspect with the legal notes, had to state yet another correction. This time it pertained to Trump’s selection for attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew, Pam Bondi.
