A lawyer representing Tucker Carlson wrote to a political action committee raising money for what it claims is an effort to “draft” the former Fox News host into the 2024 presidential race. Via HuffPost:
“Mr. Carlson will not run for President in 2024 under any circumstances,” attorney Harmeet Dhillon wrote in a letter to the PAC cited by both The Hill and Mediaite.
The letter accused the organization of “damaging” Carlson and “defrauding” his supporters, and said it did not have permission to use his name and likeness in ads that had begun to appear on Newsmax.
“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,” she wrote.
The PAC’s Twitter account vanished after the letter was made public, with The Hill reporting that the PAC itself had shut down after raising just $212.
