The Department of Justice has opened an investigation regarding the unauthorized leak of Tucker Carlson’s behind-the-scenes footage. The federal agency sent a letter to Fox News regarding this issue, and US Attorney Roger Handberg and Assistant US Attorney Jay Trezevant are leading the probe. They notified Fox News that they suspect them of being one of the potential victim-witnesses of the criminal activity. The Justice Department believes that there was a crime committed in relation to intentional unauthorized access of a computer, intentional interception and disclosure of wire, oral or electronic communication, conspiracy, and other federal criminal statutes.

The leaked footage of Tucker was published by Media Matters and Vice News, which the Justice Department has linked to the ongoing criminal investigation. Media Matters, in a statement to CNN, reiterated its decision to report on newsworthy material. The FBI executed a search warrant as part of this case on Timothy Burke’s house, a former journalist who now operates his own media consultancy service. Burke has not been mentioned in the Justice Department letter to Fox News by name.

Mark Rasch, a former federal cybersecurity prosecutor, now an attorney, is representing Timothy Burke, who denies any criminal wrongdoing. Burke has not yet seen any affidavit supporting the search warrant. Tucker Carlson has not responded to this issue. The FBI denied giving any comment.
