White House press sec. responds to Tucker Carlson’s claim that admin tried to stop his Putin interview: “Ridiculous.”

Thank you. I've got a Russian-Ukraine question and then a border question. Tucker Carlson is in Moscow and just confirmed that he's going to be interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin. He argues that Americans have a right to know all they can about a war they're implicated in. Carlson contended in his preview video that the Biden administration has opposed and even attempted to hinder his attempts to interview Putin. Do you have — Wait. Say that – say that last part again? That the Biden administration has allegedly attempted to prevent him from interviewing Vladimir Putin. Do you have a comment on either the interview or that allegation? Absolutely not. Absolutely not a comment or absolutely not that it happened? Absolutely not a comment. To be more clear. Period. Thank you. On the border, President Biden said today that the immigration system has been broken and that he intends to drive home the message that, quote, the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends. Secretary Mayorkas repeatedly said that the border is secure and that's one of the reasons House Republicans are trying to impeach him. Did President Biden just confirm that Mayorkas gave Congress false information when he said that the border was secure? Can I – I actually want to go back to your question. It's a ridiculous premise and a ridiculous statement that was made about this administration, and I just want to be very – about – yes, I just want to be very, very clear. It's just ridiculous.
