During a segment on his show this Monday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed that the Biden administration was “spying” on him in an effort to have his show taken off the air. According to Carlson, the “war on terror is now being waged against American citizens.”
Carlson went on to say that his show heard from a “whistleblower from within the U.S. government” who said that the National Security Agency (NSA) is “monitoring our electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air.”

“The whistleblower, who is in a position to know, repeated back to us information about a story that we are working on that could have only come directly from my texts and emails. There’s no other possible source for that information, period,” Carlson said, adding that “the NSA captured that information without our knowledge and did it for political reasons.”
In a tweet this Monday, national security lawyer and political contributor Bradley Moss said that Carlson “is making serious accusations with no proof and is basing corroboration on a story he allegedly is working on that none of us know about.”
