Rand Paul Demands Investigation Into Allegations US Intelligence Spied on Tucker Carlson
District of Columbia | July 13, 2021
“I write to demand that you investigate the National Security Agency’s (NSA) alleged spying and unmasking of Tucker Carlson, as well as any leaks of his private emails from the NSA to other reporters,” Paul wrote in a recent letter to Gen. Paul Nakasone, the NSA head. Carlson, the most popular cable news host in the country, alleged on his Fox News show last week that his identity was unmasked by the NSA after he tried arranging an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Unmasking refers to intelligence officials revealing the identity of a person. Richard Grenell, the former acting director of national intelligence, told The Epoch Times, “. . . something illegal happened. Somehow Tucker Carlson’s name was leaked out. And that means that someone within the intelligence community requested that U.S. journalist name to be unmasked.”.. (Excerpts from the Epoch Times)
