White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is responding to Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s claim that the National Security Agency (NSA) is spying on his electric communications.

Psaki was asked during a press gaggle aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, “Tucker Carlson said that the NSA is spying on him. Is the administration aware of any espionage or listening efforts on U.S. citizens by the NSA, and is Tucker Carlson one of them?”

She did not explicitly deny the claim. However, she responded by noting that the NSA is focused on foreign threats.

“Well, the NSA, as I think you’re well aware — I’m not sure everyone is aware — everyone on this plane is aware, I should say — is an entity that focuses on foreign threats and individuals who are trying — attempting to do us harm on foreign soil,” Psaki responded.

She added, “So, that is their purview. But beyond that, I would point you to the intelligence community.”

Carlson claimed during a segment on his show on Monday night that he learned from a “whistleblower from within the U.S. government” that the NSA is spying on his electric communications and is “planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air.”

“The whistleblower, who is in a position to know, repeated back to us information about a story that we are working on that could have only come directly from my texts and emails,” he added.

While some were doubtful about Carlson’s claim, former President Donald Trump weighed in saying he thinks it is plausible.

“I think it’s true. It’s totally believable,” Trump said during an appearance on The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show on Tuesday.
