WH Signals Backing Down On Border Wall Funding

The Washington Examiner reports:

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders hinted Tuesday morning that President Trump is willing to avoid a government shutdown this weekend, saying there may be “other ways” to get the $5 billion border wall money that Trump is seeking.

Sanders’ comment indicated that Trump still wants the $5 billion for the border wall, but he is willing to find other sources of funding, although she wasn’t specific.

Republicans in Congress, however, have been looking at whether they can capture unallocated money that has already been approved and use that to fund the wall.
