TRUMP ADMIN PUSHES BACK ON REPORT CLAIMING THEY’VE BUILT LESS THAN 2 MILES OF WALL

The Trump administration is disputing a new report that claims they’ve built less than 2 miles of border wall with nearly $2 billion in funding.

Bloomberg reported Wednesday that the U.S. government has managed to erect just 1.7 miles of bollard fencing with the $1.57 billion appropriated by Congress for wall construction in FY18. The figure came from a court filing by a lawyer for the U.S. House of Representatives and made its way onto the Drudge Report.

However, members of the administration say the report fails to fully capture the wall construction that is taking place at the southern border.
