Summary: The Trump administration is planning to use Defense Department funds this year to build parts of a border wall. The White House wants double last year's wall spending to $7.2 billion, even with year’s reprogramming still caught up in the courts. Members of Congress are concerned about the use of military construction and drug interdiction funds for border security. They let the administration know it in a letter this week. Federal News Network’s Scott Maucione spoke to House Armed Services Committee Vice Chairman Anthony Brown about his concerns.
