In 2018, Todd publicly criticized Fox News for not addressing a potential conflict of interest involving Sean Hannity’s undisclosed relationship with Michael Cohen, then-President Donald Trump’s personal attorney. Todd expressed concerns about journalistic integrity, stating that such ties could compromise impartial reporting. The dispute escalated when Hannity responded with personal remarks about Todd, including references to his wife's past political consulting work. Todd found the response unprofessional but refrained from retaliating in kind, emphasizing the importance of maintaining professional decorum in media discourse.
