Tucker Carlson says the CIA accessed his texts with Persian officials and that a criminal referral alleging illegal lobbying is being prepared by the agency — a claim that has ignited fresh controversy. Read on to discover the full story!
In a March 14 social media post, Carlson alleged the CIA read his messages in the lead-up to U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and is preparing a referral to the Department of Justice accusing him of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, which requires registration for Americans lobbying for a foreign power.
Carlson has denied accepting money from any foreign power and insisted his sole loyalty is to the United States. He declined to publicly reveal the contents of the texts but has argued the scrutiny stems from his vocal opposition to military action.
