Report: Leak of Tucker Carlson Videos Tied to Hack of Fox News, FBI Search of Florida Democrat and Progressive Journalist's Home

A search this month by the FBI of the Florida home of Democrat Tampa City Council member Lynn Hurtak and her progressive journalist husband Timothy Burke involves the hack and leak of Fox News videos of Tucker Carlson, the Tampa Bay Times reported Friday. The videos reportedly involve Kanye West and others of Carlson complaining about Fox to colleagues.
 

The search was conducted on May 7. Hurtak issued a statement after FBI agents searched the couple’s home saying it involved her husband’s work and not herself. Hurtak, a Hillsborough County Democrat was elected to the city council last month after previously being appointed to the non-partisan at large seat last year.

“Based on the information we have, it appears that the search warrant executed at our home on Monday was solely related to my husband’s work as a journalist.”
