Tucker Carlson said on Tuesday that US spies had monitored him while he was in Russia earlier this month, and leaked to a \u2018friendly\u2019 outlet that he had met with Edward Snowden. This is despite the American journalist\u2019s claim that he had tried to keep his meeting with the NSA whistleblower a secret.<\/p>\n

Carlson went to Russia to interview President Vladimir Putin. During his eight days in Moscow, he also met with Snowden \u2013 and US spies found out about it, he told podcaser Lex Fridman in the course of a three-hour conversation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was being intensely surveilled by the US government,\u201d<\/em> Carlson told Fridman, noting that US spies had thwarted his plans to interview Putin in 2021<\/a> and that he received confirmation that he was being intensely monitored ahead of his Moscow trip. \u201cThen, I\u2019m over there, and of course I want to see Snowden, whom I admire.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Snowden allegedly accepted Carlson\u2019s invitation to have dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel, but declined the interview as well as a photo request, saying that it would be better to tell no one.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t tell anybody,\u201d<\/em> Carlson told Fridman, however the meeting was leaked. \u201cSemafor runs this piece \u2013 reporting information they got from the US intel agencies, leaking against me, using my money, in my name, in a supposedly free country \u2013 they run this piece saying I met with Snowden, like it was a crime or something.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
