Tucker Carlson is doubling down on his accusations that the National Security Agency is spying on him, despite the government publically denying his claims.
The 52-year-old Fox News host went back on his show to slam Joe Biden's administration after claiming a whistleblower told him the NSA has been targeting him in an attempt to get his show canceled.
According to Carlson, someone informed him of the alleged espionage on Sunday.
"It is not just political protest the government is spying on," he told his viewers on Monday.
Carlson went onto explain the situation, claiming, "Yesterday we heard from a whistle-blower within the US government who reached out to warn us that the NSA, the national security agency, is monitoring our electronic communication and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air."
The NSA took to social media to deny Tucker's allegations on Tuesday.
"This allegation is untrue. Tucker Carlson has never been an intelligence target of the Agency and the NSA has never had any plans to try to take his program off the air," the agency tweeted.
