Pentagon Chief Shanahan: I have discretion on Trump's border wall funds – not required to do...

"Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan said that no decisions have been made so far on the amount of money that will be reallocated to the border wall project, The Hill reported Sunday." "The funds will now be redirected from the Department of Defense and the U.S. Treasury. The Defense Department alone has $21 billion total unspent funds intended for military construction, the Washington Times has reported." "The Pentagon has been directed to provide funds for the southern border wall project following President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration on Friday, but the acting defense secretary doesn’t know where the money will come from yet, and he also says he has discretion over where the funds will be pulled from." "“I think I have a lot of discretion,” he said. “I’m not required to do anything.”"
