House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has asked the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee to probe Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s allegations that the National Security Agency is spying on him.
McCarthy (R-Calif.) made the announcement Wednesday, in which he also bemoaned a “disturbing trend” he said he had seen “[f]or the past several months” at the NSA.
The top-ranking House Republican began by referencing a letter he sent Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin regarding his concerns about “the politicization of the Agency through the sidelining of Michael Ellis as NSA General Counsel.”
