Jonathan Bell claimed that a senior figure in Stormont's Executive Office was briefing against him as a "monster who had to be put to sleep" when he was a DUP minister.
He said the individual was David Gordon, who headed the communications for the Executive Office in 2016.
Mr Bell also alleged that a journalist was briefing the DUP on how to discredit him by attacking his Christian faith.
It is understood he was referring to David Blevins, the Ireland correspondent at Sky News.
Sky News said in a statement that the allegation was "completely and utterly untrue".
