Tucker Carlson presses journalist Ken Silva on one question: Why would Trump “shut down the investigation into his own attempted murder”?
He specifically asks for a “non-sinister” explanation.
Here’s how the conversation unfolded:
TUCKER: “If the president wanted this investigation to continue, it would continue, correct?”
SILVA: “Presumably, yeah… He’s got loyalists installed in most of the key positions.”
TUCKER: “Right, so it’s not just that Kash Patel’s incompetent or Dan Bongino is incompetent. This is a statement of fact. Trump shut down the investigation into Butler. So he shut down the investigation into his own attempted murder. And I think that’s the most shocking fact to come out of this Trump term because I don’t see a non-sinister explanation for that. But maybe you have one.”
SILVA: “Sometimes I wonder, did they stumble onto some sort of MKUltra program? Are they threatening Trump’s family? … You’re suggesting something more disturbing going on.”
TUCKER: “Trust me, I’ve brought this to a lot of different people, very knowledgeable people. And I’ve never had one person say, ‘Well, actually, what you’re missing is this… There’s a good explanation.’ And you just wrote a book on it. You don’t see one either?”
SILVA: “No, absolutely not. No.”
