Tucker Carlson baselessly claimed that the political establishment is plotting to assassinate Donald Trump.
The conspiracy theory has been growing in traction among far-right figures.
The former Fox News host peddled the conspiracy theory in an interview with anti-woke comedian Adam Carolla posted on Wednesday.
The conspiracy theory has been amplified by prominent far-right figures such as Infowars' Alex Jones and former Fox News host Dan Bongino, according to NBC News.
Bongino claimed that the "plot to take out Trump is metastasizing" in a recent podcast episode titled "Speeding Towards Assassination?"
