Con Artist Larry Sinclair Wildly Claims Having Sex, Drugs With Obama In 1999

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has released a preview clip of his forthcoming interview with Larry Sinclair, a convicted con artist who previously made allegations against former United States President Barack Obama. Sinclair claimed that in 1999, when Obama was a state senator, he saw him smoking crack cocaine and engaging in sexual activities.

These allegations were initially made by Larry Sinclair in 2008 but were largely dismissed by the US media and did not gain traction in relation to Barack Obama.

According to Larry Sinclair, he met Barack Obama outside a Chicago bar in November 1999 but was unaware of Obama's political status at the time. In the video clip, he recounts, "I gave Barack $250 to buy cocaine, and as I was preparing a line to snort on a CD tray, he began smoking it with a small pipe. I then began touching his thighs with the intention of engaging in sexual activity."

However, these allegations have been highly controversial and have not been verified.

Larry Sinclair emphasizes that he had no knowledge of Barack Obama's identity at the time and suggests that this was not Obama's first encounter with such activities.

In 2008, during Barack Obama's presidential campaign, Larry Sinclair had made similar claims, alleging drug use by Obama and an affair with a choir director who was later murdered.

Tucker Carlson alleges that the media did not report these allegations due to fear of losing access to a prominent politician. He asserts, "The reason these allegations were not reported was not because of discomfort with the topics of sex or drugs but because the Obama campaign warned that anyone reporting on this would be denied access to the campaign." He goes on to say, "So, they chose not to report on it."

However, Sinclair never offered any proof of his allegations.

It must be noted that Sinclair has an extensive criminal record that comprises charges of forgery, fraud, and larceny. He has also served time in an Arizona prison. This background undeniably influences the public's perception of his allegations.

Larry Sinclair is a familiar face in the media spotlight, primarily owing to his controversial claims, which have garnered significant attention from the press.
