The “Fox & Friends” Twitter account earlier Tuesday seemingly suggested Comey’s recent appearance before the House Intelligence Committee was not required viewing.

“If you missed yesterday’s congressional hearing with FBI Dir. James Comey, you didn’t miss much…,” the show’s tweet reads.

A video included in the program’s post shows 20 instances of Comey declining to comment in various ways. Comey repeatedly states “same answer” and “I’m not going to comment on that” during a recap of his remarks Monday.

Comey confirmed Monday that the FBI is probing Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential race, including any potential ties between Trump’s campaign and Moscow.

The FBI director also revealed the Department of Justice has “no information” backing Trump’s claims former President Obama wiretapped him last year.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) told Comey at the end of Monday’s hearing his remarks left “a big, gray cloud” over the Trump administration.

“This is a big, gray cloud you’ve now put over people who have very important work to do to lead this country,” the House Intelligence Committee chairman said. "And so the faster you can get to the bottom of this, it’s going to be better for all Americans."
