The National Security Agency (NSA) in a statement Tuesday denied allegations made by Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the agency is spying on him “in an attempt to take this show off the air.”

“Tucker Carlson has never been an intelligence target of the Agency and the NSA has never had any plans to try to take his program off the air,” the NSA, which conducts surveillance on foreign targets, said in a statement on Twitter.
