President Donald Trump praised Fox News in a tweet early Monday for its report that a senior US intelligence official allegedly unmasked the names of Trump associates.

“Such amazing reporting on unmasking and the crooked scheme against us by @foxandfriends. ‘Spied on before nomination.’ The real story,” he posted at 6:15 a.m.

“Fox and Friends” host Steve Doocy on Monday morning highlighted the network’s “bombshell report about the unmasking of the Trump team.”

Fox reporters Malia Zimmerman and Adam Housley cited an unnamed source Friday that the intelligence official was “very well known, very high up, very senior in the intelligence world.”
