And on Trump's favorite channel no less.

Shepard Smith again laid out the facts for President Donald Trump after the president claimed during a news conference Wednesday that the Russia investigation is a “Democratic hoax.”

The president again calling the Russia investigation a ‘Democratic hoax’. It is not. Fox News has been reporting and will continue to report that two people have pleaded guilty.”

Smith noted Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos both pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI regarding contacts with Russians.

Additionally, the investigation charged former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his associate Richard Gates on multiple counts.

At a news conference earlier Wednesday, Trump repeated his claims that “no collusion” occurred between his campaign and Russia. He called it “unlikely” for special counsel Robert Mueller to ask him to sit for an interview.

Widespread speculation says Mueller intends to interview Trump in coming weeks. Trump's own legal team prepared for the possibility, meeting with FBI officials to discuss options for the president.

There was absolutely no collusion, everybody knows it. I've been in office for 11 months, for 11 months they've had this phony cloud over this administration, over our government, and it has hurt our government."

"It is a Democrat hoax," President Trump continued, "that was brought up as an excuse for losing an election that frankly the Democrats should have won because they have such a tremendous advantage in the Electoral College."

Smith corrected Trump before for “inaccurate” claims about the Russia investigation. In December, Smith stated Flynn’s guilty plea negated Trump’s claim the Russia probe is “fake news.” He also debunked the Hillary Clinton "Uranium One" scandal in November, something President Trump claims as truth which Smith showed as an example of actual fake news.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
