By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow February 28 at 10:50 AM President Trump warned Thursday that fellow Republicans who vote to nullify his national emergency declaration at the U.S.-Mexico border are putting themselves “at great jeopardy” politically.
