Tucker Carlson was reportedly spotted in Moscow over the weekend as fans speculated online he plans on interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Previously, Carlson said he had planned to sit-down with the Russia president while at Fox News but then called it off claiming the U.S. government was monitoring him.

“I tried to interview Vladimir Putin, and the U.S. government stopped me,” Carlson told the Swiss publication, Die Weltwoche back in September. “By the way, nobody defended me. I don’t think there was anybody in the news media who said, ‘Wait a second. I may not like this guy, but he has a right to interview anyone he wants, and we have a right to hear what Putin says.'”

      An “independent” “US” “journalist”, ex-Fox"news" host “Tucker Carlson” arrived in Russia for the “first time” and has spent three days in Moscow already.

      Not sure why the writer omitted those, I thought it was mandatory in the style guide when blatantly lying.
