Tucker Carlson Is Set To Interview A Man Who Claims To Have Smoked Crack And Slept With Obama In 1999

Tucker Carlson has announced his plan to release an interview with Larry Sinclair, a man who claims to have had sexual relations with and smoked crack with former U.S. President Barack Obama.

But this isn't the first time Sinclair has come forward with such allegations. He first aired his claims about his history with Obama in a press conference in June of 2008, an announcement that culminated in Sinclair's arrest for an outstanding larceny warrant.

Tucker announced his plans to rehash Sinclair's claims in a teaser video posted to Elon Musk's X. After parting ways with Fox News, Tucker has continued his broadcast journalism on his new show hosted exclusively on X.

In the teaser, Sinclair is seen discussing an incident that supposedly took place in 1999. He claims to have given Obama $250 to purchase crack cocaine, which Sinclair says he snorted and Obama smoked before they both purportedly slept together.

The teaser, which is set to dramatic music and cuts between Tucker Carlson and Sinclair, also shows Carlson questioning his guest about Obama's sexuality and asking why the story did not make headlines during the politician's 2008 presidential campaign. Sinclair's response to the question alludes to a purported lack of media interest in his claims.

Sinclair had first come forward with his story about smoking cocaine and having a sexual liaison with Obama back in 2008 during a press conference he held in Washington D.C. Sinclair, who has a criminal history that includes forgery, fraud and theft, was ultimately arrested for outstanding warrants against his name. Sinclair was also unable to produce any evidence to support his claims.

In an appearance on Adam Carolla's podcast in late August, Carlson rehashed Sinclair's claims and called them "obviously true" in light of recent discussions about Obama saying that he makes "love to men daily, but in the imagination," which others took to be one of Obama's famous strategies for wooing progressing women during his college days.
