The Hill: Dems to Pentagon: No extra money if Trump uses defense funds to build wall

| Posted in In the News

Democratic appropriators on Tuesday said they will not give the Pentagon money to cover any shortfalls that stem from President Trump using military funds to pay for a border wall. “Let me be clear: I do not intend to use Mil-Con dollars to fund this wall,” said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), chair of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, at a hearing on Trump’s 2020 budget request.
