Tucker Carlson is viewed as one of the most popular men for the conservative Americans. His viewership has increased dramatically since his departure from Fox News. However, it seems that his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin has caused some stir.
According to the Leading Report, Tucker Carlson revealed his lawyers cautioned him about potential US arrest for interviewing Putin in Moscow, citing sanctions violations. Carlson dismissed concerns, asserting his willingness to face the risk. Despite warnings, he remained undeterred, questioning the premise of such charges and expressing no safety concerns in Russia.
