Right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson wants President Donald Trump to “rescue” Russell Brand from the U.K. court where the comedic actor is charged with multiple counts of rape and sexual assault.

Brand was granted bail Friday after being an 18-month investigation concluded that he sexually abused four women between 1999 and 2005. The 50-year-old entertainer denies any criminal conduct.

According to Carlson, Brand is being wrongly prosecuted because of his opposition to COVID-19 protocols that turned “the UK into a totalitarian state” during the pandemic.

“Russell Brand, whose youngest child is barely a year old, now faces life in prison,” the fired Fox News host posted on X. “He has no shot at a fair trial, because Britain is no longer a free country.”

Carlson wants the British performer to be granted asylum in the U.S. to protect him from going to trial back home.

“Say a prayer that the Trump administration comes to his rescue,” Carlson wrote.

Brand posted video online from a press conference earlier this week when White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if the president would consider granting asylum to British citizens in a jam.

“I have not heard that proposed to the president, nor have I spoken to him about that idea, but I certainly can talk to our national security team and see if it’s something the administration would entertain,” she replied.

Carlson, 55, was cut loose from Fox News in 2023 after a series of embarrassing texts were made public including one saying he “passionately” hates Trump.

He appears to have since worked his way back into Trump’s good graces. The president said he liked Carlson “a lot” before the 2024 election and claimed he’d consider making the conspiracy theory pushing pundit his running mate.
