Fox News chief anchor Shepard Smith disputed President Trump’s recent remarks about border wall construction, saying on air that “there is no new wall,” The Hill reports.
Said Smith: “The president also said in the tweet that the wall is going up rapidly. It is not. As we just reported, there’s no new wall. Only replacement for walls which were in need of repair or upgrade. Those are the facts.”
