I had limited access over the weekend so going to catch up now on how President Trump tweeted Fox News segments to try to gain control of the whistleblower story.
On Saturday afternoon, Trump tweeted clips of two segments from Hannity and one from The Ingraham Angle pushing his talking points on the story.
Later that afternoon he tweeted quotes from Fox regulars Tom Fitton, Gregg Jarrett, and Peter Schweizer on the story. I've only been able to find the Jarrett one.
That night he sent a series of tweets based on Lou Dobbs' show attacking the media. Here:
On Sunday morning, he tweeted from an appearance Peter Schweizer made on Friday's The Ingraham Angle (he misquoted, Schweizer calls this the "underlying" story not the "real" one).

Left, Fox's The Ingraham Angle, 10:06 p.m. Friday
Right, Trump, 9:39 a.m. Sunday
(This suggests to me that the reason I couldn't find the previous Schweizer and Fitton tweets Trump "quoted" is that he aggressively misquoted their interviews to the point of wholesale fabrication.)
Here's another Fox News clip he tweeted on Saturday night, from Jeanine Pirro's show.
Later Sunday morning he switched to live-tweeting Kavanaugh segments.

Left, Fox Business' Sunday Morning Futures, 10:20 a.m.
Right, Trump, 10:29 a.m. (pretty rough quote)
Left, Fox News' MediaBuzz, 11:07 a.m.
Right, Trump, 11:22 a.m.
This tweet, coming a few minutes later, is almost certainly about the same segment.
