Journalist Hersh said he watched Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin. “I, of course, watched the interview,” he told RIA Novosti.

The journalist noted Carlson’s interest in the story of the explosion at Nord Stream, but refused to comment on the interview itself and the part discussing sabotage. Earlier it was reported that the interview of American journalist Tucker Carlson with the Russian President collected over 150 million views. Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting on the Nord Stream explosions, said that the CIA does not have an alibi.
