Tucker Carlson says Israeli figures ‘connected to’ Netanyahu pushed Hunter Biden laptop story

  • Conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson has claimed that Israeli figures falsely told his team that Hunter Biden 's laptop contained explicit images of children.
  • During an interview with Hunter Biden, Carlson dismissed conspiracy theories regarding the laptop, confirming it did not contain such images.
  • Carlson, who used the laptop story to criticize the Biden family while serving as a Fox News anchor, addressed the laptop’s contents in a wide-ranging interview with the former president’s son.
  • “Can I just say one thing though, this is what I experienced during that time. The allegation that there was abuse of minors proven on the laptop – that came from the Israelis,” Carlson told Biden. The “Tucker Carlson Show” host went further and claimed a man “connected to [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu” had given a producer on his former Fox News show the information directly.
  • Hunter Biden’s laptop contained nude images of himself and women, but there were no explicit images or videos of children. The Israeli government has been contacted for comment regarding Carlson's claims.
