NSA Denies Allegation of Spying on Tucker Carlson — Fox News Host Doubles Down

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is doubling down on his claim after the 🔐National Security Agency (NSA) denied it.

The agency wrote in a statement on Tuesday evening, “This allegation is untrue. 👤Tucker Carlson has never been an intelligence target of the Agency and the NSA has never had any plans to try to take his program off the air.”

Carlson alleged during his show on Monday night that the NSA has been “monitoring our electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air.”

The NSA added, “With limited exceptions (e.g. an emergency), NSA may not target a US citizen without a court order that explicitly authorizes the targeting.”

Carlson said during Monday night’s show, “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.”

The Fox News host also alleged “the NSA captured that information without our knowledge and did it for political reasons.”

“The Biden administration is spying on us. We have confirmed that,” he claimed, later adding, “Spying on opposition journalists is incompatible with democracy. If they are doing it to us … they are almost certainly doing it to others.”
