The FBI is investigating a potential criminal hack of Fox News computers, which may have resulted in the theft of documents and footage later leaked to other media outlets. The investigation relates to unaired footage of Tucker Carlson’s interview with Kanye West, which was published by Vice News, and a series of leaked videos published by Media Matters for America. As part of the investigation, the FBI searched the home of media consultant Tim Burke and his wife, Tampa City Council member Lynn Hurtak. Burke has not been accused of any wrongdoing or criminally charged. Fox News asked Media Matters to stop publishing unaired footage in the FOXLEAKS series, but the group rejected the legal demand, insisting that it had the right to cover newsworthy leaked materials and saying it would continue to do so.
