Tucker Carlson alleged that Boris Johnson’s team demanded $1 million for an interview after Johnson accused Carlson of being a “stooge” for interviewing Vladimir Putin.
Johnson’s spokesman disputed this, saying any payment would have gone to charity and Johnson pulled out after Alexi Navalny’s death.
“Boris Johnson calls me ‘a tool of the Kremlin’ or something … so I was annoyed, so I put in a request for an interview with [Johnson], because he’s constantly denouncing me as a tool of the Kremlin. He says no,” Carlson said.

“I’m getting more annoyed… I know a lot of people who know Boris Johnson. Finally an adviser gets back to me and said, ‘He will talk to you, but it’s going to cost you a million dollars.”
“I said, ‘I just interviewed Vladimir Putin — I’m not defending Putin, but [he] didn’t ask me for a million dollars. So you’re telling me that Boris Johnson is a lot sleazier, a lot lower than Vladimir Putin’,” he said.
“Prime Minister Johnson came, [talked Ukraine] out of it and we missed that chance. Well, you missed it. You made a mistake,” Putin said to Carlson during the interview.
Johnson has advocated strongly for Ukraine since resigning amid scandals, being rewarded with streets and murals in Ukraine.
He has also profited financially since leaving office through speaking fees, columns and a GB News contract, taking in around £5 million in the first six months alone.
