Journalist and author Chadwick Moore said in a video posted to social media Monday that Tucker Carlson’s ouster last month from Fox News was allegedly part of a settlement agreement the network reached with Dominion Voting Systems days before.
Moore — who was a guest on the final episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on April 21 — has been writing a biography about Carlson over the last year.
Concerning Dominion Moore said: “It has now been reported that his firing was a condition demanded by Dominion as part of the settlement with Fox. Although Dominion has denied this, my sources have intimate knowledge of the situation, and they have assured me, even before this news leaked, that that is in fact the truth.”
“If that is true, it would mean that a small group of people, who have a controlling interest in Dominion, have managed to silence what is arguably the most important and influential conservative voice in the country, possibly until after the next presidential election,” he added.
Carlson shared Moore’s post.

Fox News agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million in a defamation suit claiming that the news outlet’s coverage regarding the use of its voting machines in the 2020 election hurt the company’s reputation in the industry, according to an April 18 story by The Associated Press — just days before Carlson’s final episode.
Dominion had been suing Fox for $1.6 billion.
