Tucker Carlson: NSA denies spying on Fox News host – By BBC Newsroom (BBC) / June 30 2021
The US National Security Agency (NSA) has denied allegations by Fox News host Tucker Carlson that it is spying on him in an attempt to force him off air.
On Monday Carlson, a long-time critic of President Joe Biden, said a government whistle-blower had told him the NSA was monitoring him for “political reasons”.
The NSA denied this, saying its primary role is to counter foreign threats.
Fox News has not commented publicly on its host’s claim.
In response to a question about Carlson’s comments, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said the NSA “focuses on foreign threats and individuals who are attempting to do us harm on foreign soil.”
