During an interview with former President Donald Trump, Fox News host Harris Faulkner mistakenly reported what would have been a major development in the Biden administration’s handling of the situation at the southern border — then quickly had to walk it back on live TV.
Faulkner interrupted Trump on Monday as she mistakenly reported that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had resigned.
“I want to double-check this with our producers, the DHS secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, has resigned,” she said.
Trump responded, “Well, I’m not surprised. Good. That’s a big victory for our country.”
Just seconds later, Harris said, “Hold on… let me stop. Let me listen to my team one more time. Forgive me. That has not happened. And I apologize, listening to the team and you.”
“Oh, OK. Cross off that victory,” Trump said with a chuckle.
She went to say that Trump has called for Mayorkas’ resignation.

A Fox News spokesperson later told IJR in a statement, “The error stemmed from an audio issue in a virtual working environment. We corrected the mistake and continued on with the interview.”
The moment came after Trump released a statement blasting the Biden administration’s handling of the surge of migrants at the southern border.
