Tucker Carlson said on Tuesday that US spies had monitored him while he was in Russia earlier this month, and leaked to a 'friendly' outlet that he had met with Edward Snowden. This is despite the American journalist's claim that he had tried to keep his meeting with the NSA whistleblower a secret.

Carlson went to Russia to interview President Vladimir Putin. During his eight days in Moscow, he also met with Snowden - and US spies found out about it, he told podcaser Lex Fridman in the course of a three-hour conversation.

"I was being intensely surveilled by the US government," Carlson told Fridman, noting that US spies had thwarted his plans to interview Putin in 2021 and that he received confirmation that he was being intensely monitored ahead of his Moscow trip. "Then, I'm over there, and of course I want to see Snowden, whom I admire."

Snowden allegedly accepted Carlson's invitation to have dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel, but declined the interview as well as a photo request, saying that it would be better to tell no one.

"I didn't tell anybody," Carlson told Fridman, however the meeting was leaked. "Semafor runs this piece - reporting information they got from the US intel agencies, leaking against me, using my money, in my name, in a supposedly free country - they run this piece saying I met with Snowden, like it was a crime or something."

"If you have a media establishment that acts as employees of the national security state, you don't have a free country. And that's where we are," Carlson added.

Carlson revealed that he did not fear getting arrested in Russia at any point, but was warned by his lawyers that the US might arrest him depending on the content of the Putin interview.

"I felt not one twinge of concern for the 8 days that I was there," he told Fridman about being in Moscow.

Before he left for Russia, his team of attorneys counseled him to "not do this… A lot will depend on the questions you ask of Putin. If you're seen as too nice to him you could be arrested when you come back," Carlson quoted the lead lawyer as saying, to which he said he replied, "You're describing a fascist country, OK?"

In 2013, Snowden revealed that the NSA was systematically engaged in mass illegal spying on American citizens. Fearing for his safety, he fled to Hong Kong with the intent to reach Ecuador, which did not have an extradition treaty with the US, but was stopped during a layover in Moscow after Washington canceled his passport. Russia ended up granting him asylum and reportedly, eventual citizenship.

One of the founders of Semafor, the outlet to which Carlson claims US spies leaked his dinner with Snowden, is Ben Smith, a former editor-in-chief of the now defunct BuzzFeed newsroom. In 2017, Smith notoriously published the 'Steele Dossier,' a sham document leaked by US spies to discredit incoming President Donald Trump.
