NEW CONGRESSIONAL BATTLE AHEAD OVER TRUMP BUDGET - AND WALL FUNDING: A new showdown is brewing in Congress as President Trump will request a total of $8.6 billion in new border wall funding as part of the White House's upcoming budget proposal for the next fiscal year, to be released on Monday ... Trump will look to secure $5 billion from Congress for the Department of Homeland Security, plus $3.6 billion from the military construction budget. The request comes on top of the $8.1 billion Trump already has access to, which includes money he's trying to shift from military accounts after declaring a national emergency. The request faces all-but-certain rejection in Congress amid a growing crisis at the southern border, since Democrats control the House and spending bills in the GOP-led Senate need bipartisan support.
