President Donald Trump has promised to pardon aides if they have to break federal laws to get hundreds of miles of new border wall built before the 2020 election, according to current and former officials involved with the project. Aides have been directed to fast-track contracts, disregard environmental rules, and to be aggressive while seizing private land, reports The Washington Post. A White House official, speaking anonymously, said Trump is joking when he mentions pardons. However, the president has promised to complete 500 miles of border fencing by the November 2020 election, but just 60 miles of replacement barrier went up during the first two-and-a-half years he has been in office, and officials say he’s been holding White House meetings to push hard about it.
