Top MP urges probe into Carlson’s claim US tried to kill Putin
Plotting to assassinate the Russian president is a direct path to nuclear war, Vyacheslav Volodin has said | The claim by American journalist Tucker Carlson that the previous administration of US President Joe Biden wanted to assassinate Russian leader Vladimir Putin should be thoroughly investigated by international bodies, senior Russian lawmaker Vyacheslav Volodin has said. ● During an interview on Monday, Carlson said former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken “was pushing so hard for a real war [between Washington and Moscow], trying to kill Putin, for example.” He did not provide details of the alleged plot, but insisted that “the Biden administration did [it], they tried to kill Putin.” ● The journalist denounced the purported plan as “insane” and “demented,” considering the power vacuum it could create in Russia and the potential for the country’s vast nuclear arsenal to end up in the wrong hands.
