Fox News Rundown Extra: A Deep Dive Into The Flynn ‘Unmasking’ Controversy
A list of officials from the Obama administration who sought to “unmask” President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn was released this week.

Democrats have called the story a ‘distraction’ and many Americans are understandably confused by all the details and allegations.
