White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Sunday that it «could be a while» before lawmakers have a list of military construction projects impacted by President Trump’s emergency declaration to move funding to a wall along the southern border.
Mulvaney, who also heads the Office of Management and Budget, said he’s not aware of any existing list that describes projects that will have funding reallocated to the border wall.
«I know of no list and if anybody should know it should be me,» he said on «Face the Nation» on CBS. «There’s no list of projects that are absolutely not going to be funded so that the wall can be.»
Mulvaney said that no programs that had money appropriated through September of this year will be affected. Instead, the list in question would consist of programs that are set to be funded beyond the end of this fiscal year, which would allow Congress time to backfill the funding.
