Former Fox News host and commentator Tucker Carlson announced on February 6 that he has been granted an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "We're in Moscow tonight. We're here to interview the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin," Carlson said. Carlson, who is known for incendiary rhetoric and spreading conspiracy theories, said it was part of his "duty to inform people." Carlson was fired by Fox News last year amid scandals and lawsuits over unfounded election fraud claims. Carlson later started his own show on X, formerly Twitter. The interview will be posted on X, but Carson didn’t say when.
