President Donald Trump met with top lawmakers at the White House for a security briefing on Jan. 2, where security officials were to explain their need for further border barriers.

But the Democrat attendees didn’t want to listen and never actually got through the full briefing by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, said Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), House GOP leader, during a press gaggle after the briefing.
