Mulvaney: Trump can 'move money around' to get wall funding

Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says President Trump will pull from several pots of money to fulfill his pledge to build a southern border wall, indicating the White House is prepared to accept a deal from Congress that doesn’t fully meet the president’s full $5.7 billion border request.

“We’ll take as much money as you can give us and then we’ll go off and find the money someplace else, legally, in order to secure that southern barrier, but this is going to get built with or without Congress,” Mulvaney said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“The president is going to build the wall,” he declared.

Senate and House negotiators are zeroing in on a number around $2 billion to allocate for border barriers in hopes of reaching a funding deal that would avoid another government shutdown after Feb. 15.
