Laura Loomer, right-wing activist Donald Trump Loyalists, long term and Tucker Carlson – Former Fox News host. As Carlson claimed on X, the CIA had been “reading” his text messages to “frame him” for crimes, Loomer launched a scathing attack on the conservative commentator.
“I will be honored if Tucker Catalson is charged with violating the FARA and/or leaking information to Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran or Qatar,” she wrote on the X, referring to the FARA. It requires persons representing foreign interests (governments, political parties, or entities) to disclose their relationships and activities with the Department of Justice (DOJ) so that the entire process remains transparent.

Loomer went on to rebuke Carlson, writing that “Islamic sympathizers always project the crimes they may have committed onto others.” She added that she had complained about Carlson to members of the Republican Party, law enforcement and even the Justice Department.
“You have no idea how persistent I have been in speaking with Republican representatives and even reporting Tucker to law enforcement and the Department of Justice. I pray that my efforts will be successful,” she added. Loomer then said of his video about the CIA: “Sounds like someone’s trying to jump the gun on the story. Lock him up!”
To illustrate her point, Loomer shared a video of Carlson she posted on February 2, writing at the time: “Tucker Carlson needs to be investigated for possible FARA violations. Take a look at this video. Tucker Carlson is in Saudi Arabia this week, next to his bespectacled brother @buckleycarlson. Sitting next to the Tucker brothers is Neil Patel @NeilPatelTDC, co-founder and CEO of the @TCNetwork Tucker Carlson Network.”
What did Tucker Carlson say to the CIA?
Carlson said on the show that the CIA was preparing “some kind of” criminal report on him and turning it over to the Justice Department. Carlson added that this was based on the “crime” he committed by talking to the Iranian people before the war.
The conservative talk show host added that he was not a foreign agent and did not violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He further stated that he remains loyal to the United States.
The feud between Loomer and Carlson stems from the former being a staunch supporter of Israel and the latter having been critical of U.S.-Israeli relations. Both men are also in good standing with President Trump.
