A Political Action Committee (PAC) formed to try and convince former Fox News host Tucker Carlson to run for president in 2024 has shut down following a legal threat from Carlson.

Carlson's lawyer, Harmeet Dhillon, sent a cease-and-desist letter to the PAC on Monday.

"Mr. Carlson will not run for President in 2024 under any circumstances, and therefore your misrepresentations are damaging to Mr. Carlson and defrauding his supporters," Dhillon wrote in the letter obtained by The Hill. "If you do not immediately cease and desist your efforts to solicit money to 'draft' Mr. Carlson, we will use every legal means at our disposal to vindicate his rights and protect his supporters from these misrepresentations."

Dhillon added that the PAC did "not have Mr. Carlson's permission or support to use his name, image, or likeness in your efforts," accusing them of doing so "for your own benefit" to later sell donor lists, and that taking funds would lead to donors' "disappointment and frustration."

The threat came just days after the PAC unveiled its first ad, which was set for a weeklong run on Newsmax. The ad praised Carlson for mocking "woke nonsense" and asserted that "no one is more articulate and pins down leftists in both parties." -The Hill
