Tucker Carlson announces his controversial interview with Putin will air Thursday at 6pm EST on his own website and X – as Hillary Clinton brands fired Fox News host a ‘useful idiot’

Tucker Carlson‘s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin will air on Thursday evening on X and his own website, while Hillary Clinton called him a ‘useful idiot’ for doing so.

In a Wednesday Instagram post, Carlson said the sit-down, which has already been recorded, would be broadcast at 6 p.m. Eastern on his website and the social media platform.

The former Fox News host, a key ally of 2024 election candidate Donald Trump and a vocal opponent of US military aid for Ukraine, traveled to Moscow for Putin’s first interview with a Western journalist since Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. 

Hillary Clinton, speaking on MSNBC Wednesday, joked that she ‘would not be surprised if he emerges with a contract with a Russian outlet, because he is a useful idiot’ in response to the news. 

Carlson’s access to Putin is a huge contrast with restraints on other foreign journalists in Russia, where two US citizens – Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and Radio Free Europe’s Alsu Kurmasheva – are currently imprisoned.
