President Trump didn’t need another feather in his cap on Monday after his attorney general produced a summary the long-anticipated Mueller report that cleared him of collusion charges, and his erstwhile rival Michael Avenatti got indicted (twice). He got one anyway: a Congress-proof gift of one billion dollars towards his southern border wall from the Pentagon.

On Monday, the Defense Department notified Congress that it had transferred one billion dollars to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to go towards 57 miles of wall construction complete with 18-foot-high fences and lighting.
