Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is requesting an investigation into allegations by Tucker Carlson that the National Security Agency was spying on him, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: The senator sent a letter to Gen. Paul Nakasone of the National Security Agency, casting doubt on the NSAs public denial of spying on Carlson and defending the Fox News host as a journalist who should be protected by the First Amendment.
Between the lines: Paul, who sits on the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, wrote that he is open-minded to believe the NSA may be telling the truth.
However, he argues a long train of abuses committed by the agency must elicit more than a carefully worded tweet of denial to be trusted.
