Fox News anchor Adam Housley has obtained some new
information in regards to who unmasked the names of U.S. officials like former
National Security Adviser Michael Flynn in the ongoing Russia investigation.
For starters, Housley's sources have revealed that the
surveillance of Trump started before he was even the GOP nominee, he said
during the broadcast of "Outnumbered" on Friday.

These sources, who Housley says are "not Trump
people," also claim to know the name of at least one person who was
leaking the names.
The person who did the unmasking is a “very senior” and
“very well known” person in the intelligence community, Housley said, adding
that he or she is not in the FBI.
It seems the spreading of names was done for “political
purposes that have nothing to do with national security,” or foreign
intelligence, but hurting Trump’s team, Housley noted.
"It had everything to do with hurting and
embarrassing Trump and his team," according to his sources.
Flynn, who was forced to resign as national security
advisor after reports revealed he misled the White House in terms of his conversations
with Russia, has asked the Senate Intelligence Committee for immunity in the
investigation.
