Given that the source is corroborated, looks like the Tucker Carlson source can be trusted.

Your opinion on reputation is just that.

Liars are capable of telling the truth, but that doesn't mean you should assume what they say is true without corroboration.

The Tucker Carlson peice is accurate. A reasonable person would incorporate that in their opinion of the source.

Politifact "fact check", or really anything that calls itself s fact check, isn't a reliable proxy for forming opinion from primary sources.
