The president claimed he did not support We Build the Wall, despite allies with ties to the alleged scheme and his son once offering the organization praise for trying to help his father complete a campaign promise.
"I disagreed with doing this very small section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads," Trump tweeted July 12."It was only done to make me look bad, and perhaps it now doesn't even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles."
for appearing at a 2018 event with Brian Kolfage, the man who started We Build the Wall and who was also arrested Thursday. Two additional men—Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea—were arrested and charged for their involvement in the alleged scam. Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump, Jr.'s girlfriend and top Trump campaign official, also appeared at the event and was featured on the organization's website as saying the effort is"really impressive."
