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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
