Bovino claimed on CNN Sunday, The victims are the Border Patrol agents. I'm not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The suspect put himself in that situation."

"Tapper suggested that Bovino was a known liar by retweeting a judge's ruling from November on Bovino's tactics in Chicago. Tapper wrote, Bovino admitted in his deposition that he lied multiple times,' wrote the judge. Bovino, in response, challenged Tapper writing, Then identify the lie, Jake. No one can seem to find this mysterious lie'. Happy to help, sir, Tapper replied, before producing more court documents."
