A Fox News host has been roasted online after claiming he has bombshell documents about Joe Biden's family - but they were lost in the post.
Tucker Carlson, who hosts the most watched programme on US cable TV, says he was provided with a "collection of confidential documents" related to the election frontrunner's family.
Carlson has frequently used his platform on Fox News to amplify conspiracy theories, most recently broadcasting innuendo about the business dealings of former Vice President's son, Hunter Biden.
He's previously claimed it was "pretty weird" that President Trump caught Covid-19 so close to the election.
And he's hosted people on his nightly show who have claimed the virus was man-made in a Chinese lab.
"We believe those documents are authentic, they're real," he said on air last night. "And they're damning."
But Carlson said that when the network received the documents, he was in California - so he asked a producer in New York to send them by overnight courier.
He claims the documents never arrived, and that the shipping company had told them the package had been opened and the papers were missing.
Staring deeply into the camera, a very serious expression on his face, Carlson said the shipping company, which he did not name, is "baffled and deeply concerned" about the whereabouts of the "trove of documents...that are directly relevant to the Presidential campaign".
Almost immediately after the broadcast last night, Carlson faced a barrage of mockery online.
