House Republicans will hold a congressional hearing to investigate how the Biden administration's cancellation of Trump-era border wall projects has negatively affected the country after a Washington Examiner series last week exposed the billions of dollars wasted.
Two of the House Homeland Security Committee's subcommittees will hold a joint hearing Tuesday, titled"Opening the Flood Gates: Biden's Broken Border Barrier."The hearing was triggered by the Washington Examiner's four-part series "Wall of Waste", which exposed billions of dollars of wasted federal government spending and fields of rusting border wall materials, according to a committee spokesperson.
The Washington Examiner traveled to Deming, New Mexico, earlier this month and met with fourth-generation cattle rancher Russell Johnson, who said the Biden administration's decision to cancel the border wall that ran through his eight miles of property had harmed his family, land, and livestock. Johnson told the Washington Examiner Monday morning that he had been invited to testify on Tuesday and was on his way to Washington with a message for Democrats and Republicans.
The Washington Examiner series also exposed how the Biden administration agreed to fill in 129 gaps in the border wall and had quietly begun doing so — though the gap projects make up a tiny percentage of the 300 miles of unbuilt border wall that had been funded during the Trump administration.
