President-elect Donald Trump said he planned legal action against the Biden administration to stop the sale of unused materials to build the incomplete wall on the Mexico border.
The incoming president, who has signaled his intentions to resume construction of a wall to combat illegal immigration, said Monday that he has spoken to the Texas attorney general and the state’s US senators and that “we are going to, you know, have a restraining order” on the Biden administration from auctioning off unused panels and other supplies for the wall.
