outfront next, russia seizing on tucker carlson s exit from fox. why this obsession? it comes as a top putin official tonight tells our matthew chance about the possibility of a prisoner swap for americans detained in russia. plus, what s old is new again. biden s message today for re-election, eerily similar to what he said on this very day exactly four years ago. will it work a second time? and then a story you will see first outfront tonight. outrage over lawmakers making decisions of white lawmakers making decisions for a city that is overwhelmingly black and democratic. outfront tonight, russia is hiring as a top putin mouthpiece offers tucker carlson a job with russian state television. the most senior russian official to visit the united states since putin invaded ukraine. you heard me there, today, said this, unprompted. translator: perhaps it would be useful to consider how things are with freedom of speech in the united states. i ve heard that tucker c
