Robert F Kennedy has expressed his support of a potential sit-down between Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin.

'The legacy media is in shambles because we've caught onto their lies and propaganda. Tucker Carlson has every right to interview Putin,' the third-Party presidential candidate said on Sunday.

'We need more transparency instead of less. It used to be understood journalists would interview world leaders, even those with whom we were at war.'

Kennedy's post on X comes amid ongoing speculation that Carlson may become the first Westerner to interview the Russian despot during the war in Ukraine.

Russian state media fueled the rumors on Monday, posting a video they claimed showed Carlson leaving the Russian Presidential Administration. The outlet, however, would still not confirm the interview took place.

The former Fox News star kept his cards close to the chest on Monday, after Russian media showed pictures of him at several spots around Moscow, including at a box at the Bolshoi Theatre and eating at a hotel.

'It is beautiful,' Carlson said of Moscow in an interview aired by the Izvestia newspaper. 'I just wanted to see it because, you know, I have read so much about it but I have never seen it before.'

When asked if he was in Moscow to interview Putin, Carlson said: 'We'll see' and smiled. 

The former Fox News host, 54, reportedly arrived in the capital on February 1 and was spotted at a Spartacus performance in Bolshoi Theatre.

Back in 2021, Carlson claimed the National Security Agency began 'spying' on him after he said he was trying to interview Putin.

Carlson said that his communications were intercepted by the NSA, and that his identity - which should by law have been kept a secret - was 'unmasked' by senior intelligence officials. Carlson claimed that the content of his emails and texts was then disseminated, in a bid to discredit him.
