Graham: Trump “Inclined” To Declare Wall Emergency

The Hill reports:



Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Wednesday that President Trump is “very inclined” to declare a national emergency to obtain the necessary funds to build a border wall. “It’s definitely on the table, I’ll let him tell you whether or not he’s going to do it, but he’s very inclined to go that route,” Graham, a staunch ally of Trump, told reporters on Capitol Hill.

Speculation has increased that Trump may back the current funding deal and then declare a national emergency to pull funds from the Pentagon to make up the difference for a border barrier. Fox News host Sean Hannity, a Trump confidant, floated such a move earlier this week.
