Congressional negotiators announced on Monday night they have a border wall funding agreement they believe President Trump will sign into law.
The agreement was announced by a group of lawmakers led by Republican Sen. Richard Shelby and Democratic Rep. Nita Lowey, after a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill.
On Wednesday FOX News announced Democrats slipped a “poison pill” into the deal that will prevent the 55 miles of wall from being built.
But the agreement is even worse than what is being reported.
The agreement specifies areas where Trump cannot build any wall.
On Thursday night the US House passed the border bill.
President Trump will reportedly use $8 billion from various government agencies to build the wall
Brian Kilmeade broke the news on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Thursday.
