A federal judge rejected an attempt by the House to bar the president from spending $6.1 billion in unappropriated funds to build a border wall
A federal judge on Monday rejected an attempt by the Democrat-led House to bar President Donald Trump from spending $6.1 billion in unappropriated funds to build a border wall., D.C.-based District Court Judge Trevor McFadden said that the court lacked authority to resolve a funding dispute between the executive and legislative branches.
that blocked the transfer of roughly $1 billion in Defense Department counter-drug funding to cover expansions and enhancement of border barriers. Trump declared a national emergency in February as part of a strategy to access $6.7 billion to build a border wall after Congress turned down a similar request. Democrats blasted the move, and House leaders challenged it in federal court — one of several lawsuits targeting the emergency.
The House argued that the White House violated the Constitution and federal regulatory law when it sought to transfer roughly $6.1 billion based on authority outlined in two federal statutes related to counter-drug and military construction funds.
