Podcaster Tucker Carlson has revealed that the CIA is preparing a criminal referral against him because he opposes the war in Iran, presumably on the grounds that he is illegally acting as a foreign agent because he interviewed the president of Iran before U.S. President Donald Trump and Israel began the war against that country.
Carlson detailed the agency’s spying on him, and predicted nothing would come of any allegations because they simply aren’t true.
After Carlson’s broadcast, GOP Representative Max Miller of Ohio called for his arrest as a “foreign agent,” a sentiment with which “chicken hawk” commentator Mark Levin agreed. Another commentator called for Carlson and fellow podcasters Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes to be arrested and jailed in a “WWII-Style internment camp.”..
Fellow podcaster Glenn Greenwald, a fierce opponent of the Trump administration’s shift to an Israel-first foreign policy, explained his conversation with Carlson about the referral.
“Tucker said he had learned from several high-placed sources — and he obviously has many within the Trump administration — that the CIA was preparing a criminal referral about him to the DOJ,” Greenwald wrote on his Substack:
The subject of the agency’s report of suspected crimes: conversations he allegedly had with Iranian officials and others living in Iran prior to the start of the … war. The clear implication was that Tucker had committed acts of subversion, or even treason, by speaking to Iranians in advance of the war that was about to be launched on their country.
Despite how innately shocking this claim is, I had and still have zero doubt that Tucker was telling the truth about what he heard. I have known him for many years, spent much time talking to him both in front of a camera and away from one, and never once has he lied to me or misled me.
Carlson interviewed the president of Iran in July.
