Tucker Carlson leaving Fox News, network says
CBC
Fox News said in a statement on Monday that it had parted ways with controversial host Tucker Carlson.
"We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor," the network said in a statement.
Carlson, after appearing on CNN's Crossfire and on PBS and MSNBC, joined Fox News in 2009. His Tucker Carlson Tonight show took an increasingly provocative turn.
Fox last week settled a defamation lawsuit with Toronto-founded Dominion Voting Systems for $787 million US. During the discovery phase of the trial, Carlson was among the Fox News personalities privately expressing doubts about voting machine fraud claims made by then-U.S. president Donald Trump and his allies.
Carlson within the past month had broadcast interviews with both Trump and Elon Musk.
More to come.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Thursday Ukraine would not accept any bilateral agreements on its fate reached by Moscow and Washington in its absence, and called for Europe to have a seat at the negotiating table at the end of the war.
U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth says a return to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is unrealistic and the Trump administration does not see NATO membership for Kyiv as part of a solution to the war triggered by Russia's invasion.
