Chris Wallace accused Joe Biden's administration of being 'less transparent' than Donald Trump as he hammered White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Sunday for refusing to allow media access to holding facilities at the border.
'At this point, in terms of allowing access to border patrol facilities for reporters, you are being less transparent than the Trump administration,' the 'Fox News Sunday' host said in an interview with Psaki Sunday morning.
Psaki deflected, instead blaming former President Trump for the growing border crisis and reasserting the administrations 'commitment' to transparency to the press and public at the detention facilities.
'The Trump administration was turning away kids at the border, sending them back on the treacherous journey, or they were ripping kids from the arms of their parents,' Psaki responded to Wallace.
Journalists and camera crews have not been granted access to detention and border patrol facilities where thousands of migrants, including unaccompanied minors, are being held in unacceptable conditions.
Specifically, the administration is deflecting blame to Trump and is now insisting that this surge is 'cyclical' and claim the mass migration traffic at the southern border is typical.
'Factually, there was an increase of about 31% of people coming to the border during the final months of the Trump administration.
