Tucker Carlson's potential role in Trump's political comeback revealed

With Donald Trump the clear front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, there's growing speculation over who he'll choose as his running mate. Let's go live to US correspondent Tim Lester. Tim, morning to you. Who does he have in mind? Morning, Eddie. Well, there's been a lot of chatter over the last couple of days as to whether he might select Tucker Carlson. For those who don't know, Tucker Carlson is the former conservative TV show host on the Fox Network, a conservative network in the United States, that let him go last April. But Carlson has kept up his profile, including an interview with Donald Trump when other Republican candidates were holding a debate.

This as Donald Trump prepares for his defense to begin in that long-running civil fraud case in New York. That's to begin this tomorrow here in the United States and expected to run to mid-December. The former president accused of grossly inflating the value of his properties to help enrich himself by many millions of dollars. But first to take the stand in his defense will be Donald Trump's own eldest son, Donald Jr.
