President Trump is expected to sign a border dealThe House could take up a bipartisan measure on border security today that doesn’t provide the funding Mr. Trump has demanded for a wall, and the Senate would follow. While some conservatives denounced the proposal as a sellout, Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, urged Mr. Trump to accept the compromise. Sean Hannity, the Fox News host who had denounced the deal as a “garbage compromise,” said he expected Mr. Trump to sign it. The details: The measure would provide $1.38 billion for fencing at the border with Mexico. Mr. Trump has demanded $5.7 billion for a steel or concrete wall, and said he would find “other methods” to pay for it.
