CBS News "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan sparred with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in an interview that aired Sunday over the House GOP's efforts to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, pressing the Louisiana Republican over why lawmakers would boot the person they need to negotiate with over border policy.
Brennan, speaking with Johnson during his trip to Eagle Pass, Texas last week, suggested Congress needs Mayorkas' help to improve the situation at the border. |

[I] outlined five things that they could do that would eliminate the crisis a the border," Abbott continued. "Shannon, in response to all eight of those letters, I've heard absolutely nothing from the Biden administration."
