Right-wing media personality has criticized president’s war with Iran as ‘absolutely disgusting and evil’

Right-wing media commentator Tucker Carlson claims Donald Trump’s Department of Justice could be building a criminal case against him.

In a clip shared Saturday evening on X, Carlson said the CIA is “preparing some kind of criminal referral” against him to the Justice Department “on the basis of a supposed crime.” The former Fox News host claimed investigators had read his text messages and that the supposed probe relates to “talking to people in Iran before the war.”

“The crime under consideration, apparently, would be the foreign agent act or something like that, acting as an agent of a foreign power,” he said.

Carlson may be referring to the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires that “certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute” make regular disclosures about their work, according to the Justice Department.

      You guys really need to distinguish between being anti-Israel for reasons of their genocidal behaviour or for nazi reasons. The nazi anti-Israel types are not your friends, and they don’t provide anything constructive to anybody.
