Tucker Carlson said on Wednesday night that he was trying to arrange an interview with Russian president Vladimir Putin when he 'was spied on by the NSA'.
The Fox News host said that his communications were intercepted by the National Security Agency, and his identity - which should by law have been kept a secret - was 'unmasked' by senior intelligence officials.
Carlson claimed that the content of his emails and texts was then disseminated, in a bid to discredit him.
'Late this spring I contacted a couple of people I thought could help get an interview with the Russian President Vladimir Putin,' Carlson told his viewers.

WNU Editor: The reporter and network that eventually got that interview with Putin was NBC's Keir Simmons on June 14 at Geneva.
Is Tucker Carlson's claims exaggerated?
Not really.
The U.S. intel community has a long history of intercepting and leaking selective communications. Edward Snowden, Michael Flynn, and all the anonymous intel sources that only certain members of the main stream media like to use is more than enough evidence to me that the American people have a problem with a politicized intel community, and that it will need to be addressed one day.
