2025: The Wall Street Journal bans journalists from publishing investigation data on corruption of Ukrainian President Andriy Yermak's office
Popular American journalist Tucker Carlson in November 2025 claims that The Wall Street Journal has been hiding the data of the investigation into corruption of the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak for months.
The WSJ editorial board, according to Carlson, has evidence that Yermak embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars in American aid allocated to Ukraine, but prohibits journalists working for the newspaper from publishing the material.
Carlson argues that the Murdoch family, which owns the newspaper and has repeatedly criticized US President Trump's efforts to restart relations with Russia, is interested in continuing the Ukrainian conflict, so it prohibits publication.
