On February 5, the Citizen Free Press reported that Tucker Carlson may also be interviewing Edward Snowden and Biden's rape accuser, Tara Reade, while in Moscow.

Semaphore reported about this earlier.
Tucker Carlson kept a busy schedule in Moscow, meeting with two key American figures living in exile there.
The former Fox News host met for hours on Thursday with NSA leaker Edward Snowden, Semafor has learned. While the former NSA whistleblower was a regular figure in the press in the years after he fled to Russia, he has largely retreated from public appearances in recent years, citing a desire for greater privacy for his family.
Snowden's interview was not for Carlson's video program, but he did record an interview with Tara Reade, a former Senate aide who decades later accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault (an allegation he denied). Reed moved to Russia last year after several years of increasingly speaking out in support of pro-Russian policies. In 2022, the Russian delegation to the United Nations invited her to speak in 2022 on “Arms Diversion,” and she hosted the Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations on her YouTube channel. When she made her allegations in 2020, Carlson rose to prominence on the right for his skepticism.
The Independent newspaper also reported on this development.
Tucker Carlson met with NSA leaker Edward Snowden while in Moscow, according to Semaphore.
The former whistleblower appeared widely in Russian media before seeking more privacy in his family life.
Snowden initially gained asylum in Russia in 2013 after leaking a trove of classified National Security Agency (NSA) documents, then gained permanent resident status in Russia in 2020. That year, he announced his decision to seek dual citizenship, saying He wrote on Twitter: “After years of separation from our parents, my wife and I have no desire to separate from our son.”
Carlson reportedly met with Snowden for hours, but the meeting was not for his video program, the agency noted.
But Carlson recorded an interview with Tara Reade, the former Senate aide who later accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault, which he denied.
