Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson confirmed speculation he’s in Russia for an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We’re in journalism,” he said in a video posted to social media. “Our duty is to inform people.”
Carlson was first spotted in Moscow over the weekend attending a performance at the Bolshoi Theater.
When asked Monday if an interview with Putin was on his agenda, he told Kremlin-adjacent newspaper Izvestia, “We’ll see.”
But the 54-year-old right-wing provocateur made clear Tuesday that was his plan and offered an explanation.
