Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin asked the secretary for comment on his possible impeachment and the upcoming House hearings on the border. “Mr. Secretary, any comments on Republicans calling for your impeachment?” Melugin asked. “Good morning,” Mayorkas replied. “They’ve announced an oversight hearing for the border next month, will you cooperate, sir?” he asked, as Mayorkas walked away in silence.
