In his sit-down with Tucker Carlson, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that Tucker had previously tried to join the CIA but was banned from working.
The topic came up when Putin said there had been a coup in Ukraine, to which Tucker responded: “With the support of whom?”
Putin replied: “With the support of the CIA, of course; The organization you wanted to join that day, I understand.”
The Russian President continued: “We must thank God that they did not allow you to enter, even though it is a serious organization.”
Tucker did not deny Putin's claim.

There have long been rumors that after graduating from college, Tucker Carlson applied for a position at the CIA but was rejected for employment.
Tucker himself has not addressed these rumors, but one thing is clear: US intelligence agencies are not very impressed with one of America's most outspoken journalists.
The former Fox News host had previously said that the NSA was spying on his communications.
