This is illegal, this donor will never get a contract now. The POTUS isn’t in the business of influencing govt contracts. Congress needs to formally investigate this BS because this is a serious crime. This might be how Trump ran his business but it’s not how US govt works

Somebody needs to get the job done!

Drain the swamp and tRump turned it into a cesspool.

Mexican donors?

Trump is really bent on this wall. Man never forgets

Well no shit! Democrats pull the same tricks! This is an example how big government is dangerous!

Good idea to keep it all in the 'family.'

Chris Cuomo, about taking those children at the border in jail cells to Mar-O-Largo and of course Trumph would be expected to give a very low room rate and the parents transported there to reunite with their children. It would be very easy identify the real real thing.

Go see Mexico! Trump said that they were paying for it!

Of course he is. He'll reward all his cronies, contributors, and, especially, himself with taxpayer money. Why do you think he increased the military budget immediately after he took office. Cannot believe this TwatWad is our president. Sigh

$1.57 billion dollars for less that a mile and a half.... Most of the MONEY! will end up in Trump's, his cronies pockets, and GOP coffers. The Nation is lost.

But it’s okay for Joe Biden’s son to get millions in a UKRAINE “deal” while Joe was VP. I think I see a pattern of your stories here CNN. Biased much? The media used to be ethical. Those days were pre CNN, MSNBC, WaPo, and NYT.

It's like CNN would rather see Americans hurt or possibly die than secure our borders. That's liberal anti-America ideology.

Are you going to fire DonLemon for his openly racist comments, or is CNN openly racist against white males as well?
