Tucker Carlson claims CIA read his texts with Iran, is ‘framing’ him as foreign agent
NY Post
Tucker Carlson has claimed the CIA read his text messages leading up to the war with Iran in an effort to frame him as a foreign agent.
The conservative pundit, 56, said the Department of Justice is preparing to charge him with being an unregistered foreign agent for the Iranian regime on the CIA’s recommendation, during a video posted on X Saturday night.
“The CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me, a crime report to the Department of Justice, on the basis of a supposed crime I committed,” the former Fox News host said in the video released Saturday.
“What’s that crime? Well, talking to people in Iran before the war,” Carlson added. “They [the CIA] read my texts.”
Carlson claimed he is set to be charged under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (1938), which requires anyone being paid by foreign governments for lobbying or political advocacy to register with the DoJ.
