Multiple Sources Close To Tucker Carlson Reveal His Next Move AND Who It Involves...

Carlson's attorney, Bryan Freedman, dismissed the idea that anyone could silence Carlson and prevent him from speaking to his audience in response to a contract dispute with Fox News.

Since Carlson departed from the network on April 21, Fox News has experienced a significant drop in ratings among vital demographic segments and continued backlash from its viewers.

Freedman, who also represents Don Lemon, secured a $30 million payout for former Fox News host Megyn Kelly. Kelly has publicly defended Carlson on social media and has named the individual at the network she believes is responsible for the recent leaks of Carlson's texts and behind-the-scenes video clips.

The post has since been viewed nearly 81 million times, with the video attached to the post garnering more than 24 million views.
