Tucker Carlson directly contradicted Fox News this week by falsely claiming American soldiers are currently fighting Russian troops in Ukraine, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Carlson made the claims on Thursday night shortly after the FBI arrested a 21-year-old Air National Guardsman accused of leaking classified intelligence documents connected to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
But while part of the leaked classified material indicated U.S. service members are present in Ukraine amid the ongoing war, White House spokesman John Kirby released a statement clarifying that the U.S. service members are only there as part of an “embassy defense attaché.”
“US troops are not fighting in Ukraine,” wrote Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich following a press conference held by Kirby.
“[National Security Council's] John Kirby tells Fox there is a small military presence at the Embassy in conjunction with the Defense Attaché’s office working on accountability of material,” she continued, “not providing battlefield support.”
Fox News reporters Peter Doocy and Greg Norman further relayed the remarks made by Kirby denying the false reports U.S. soldiers are fighting against Russian soldiers in Ukraine.
But despite Kirby’s clarification, and despite the further clarifications provided by Fox News reporters Heinrich, Doocy, and Norman, Carlson told his millions of viewers on Thursday night that “American soldiers are fighting Russian soldiers.”
