The Pentagon is notifying lawmakers Wednesday about military construction projects in their districts that will be deferred or delayed in order to divert funding to build the president's wall at the southern border.
Secretary of Defense Mark Esper briefed senior appropriators and congressional leadership on Tuesday, explaining that $1.8 billion of the $3.6 billion in diverted funds will be taken from overseas projects, and $1.8 billion from projects in the United States and American territories. President Donald Trump said that he and Esper believe the money is needed in the name of"national security."
The Pentagon informed Virginia Democratic Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine that the administration plans to move money from four military construction projects in Virginia, including a Cyber Operations Facility at Joint Base Langley-Eustis that will lose $10 million; a Navy Ships Maintenance Facility in Portsmouth that will lose $26.1 million; a project to replace a hazardous materials warehouse in Norfolk that will lose $18.
