Trump directs Republicans to kill bipartisan border bill

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announces that the bipartisan border security bill, negotiated by Republican Sen. James Lankford, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy, and Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, will fail after former President Donald Trump explicitly instructs House and Senate Republicans to reject it, reportedly saying he does not want Biden to get a border "win" before the election. The bill would have provided $20 billion in border security funding, created new emergency authority to shut down the border when crossings exceed 5,000 per day, revamped the asylum system, and increased deportation flights. Even Republican negotiator Lankford concedes Trump killed it for political reasons.
