No evidence has been found that the National Security Agency (NSA) had been monitoring the electronic communications of Fox News host Tucker Carlson although he’s mentioned in communications between third parties, The Jerusalem Post reports quoting the agency’s review.
The review of the spy agency was prompted by congressional inquiries after Carlson had claimed in June that the NSA was spying on the electronic communications of his show citing a “whistleblower within the US government” who warned him about the monitoring.
The NSA promptly issued an official statement denying Carlson’s claims as untrue, but Fox’s host it rejected it as infuriatingly dishonest formal statement and pointing that Biden’s administration did not explicitly deny the claims.
The Record previously pointed that the NSA’s review – shared with both the House and Senate Intelligence committees- found that Carlson’s communications were not targeted or intercepted but noted that Carlson had been mentioned in communications between third parties
According to the sources quoted by The Record who declined to name who mentioned Carlson, his name was then revealed through so called unmasking in which a relevant government officials with an official reason can request the identities of American citizens in intelligence reports to be divulged.
