The administration of former US President Joe Biden tried to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin, said American journalist Tucker Carlson.
“Former Secretary of State Tony Blinken was so vocal that he was pushing for a real war, like killing Putin. What the Biden administration did was try to kill Putin“, he said. According to Carlson, Washington's policy is related to the fact that for the former US administration "chaos was a protective screen".
However, the journalist did not provide details and evidence about the organization or the assassination attempt.
In August 2024 Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Ukrainian special services are preparing assassination attempts on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. According to the Deputy Foreign Minister, Belousov called Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin and urged him to persuade Kiev to abandon its plans, which would allow Moscow and Washington to “avoid an escalation spiral“.
Meanwhile, Carlson's son will join US Vice President J. D. Vance's team as deputy press secretary, ABC reports.
Buckley Carlson is 28 years old. He began his career on Capitol Hill in 2019, working as an assistant to Republican Representative Jim Banks before being promoted to communications director in 2021.
In January 2025, James David Vance was officially sworn in as Vice President of the United States in the new administration of Donald Trump. Vance then invited several former colleagues to join his team, appointing them to high-ranking positions. Tucker Carlson, one of the most famous American television hosts, actively supported Donald Trump during the election campaign. Days before the election, Trump appeared as a special guest at an event organized by Carlson in the key state of Arizona.
