Trump border wall materials sold by Biden may soon find their way back to the feds, auctioneer claims

Border wall materials once sold for pennies on the dollar will be returned to government at-cost through deal between GovPlanet and Trump's border czar office.

Until Friday, the ultimate fate of the unused border wall materials – originally estimated to be worth between $260 million and $350 million – remained largely unclear. A contentious court battle in Texas last December resulted in a 30-day freeze on the auctions, but little has publicly transpired since.

"GovPlanet has reached an agreement, working with the Office of the Border Czar, to return border wall materials that were previously deemed surplus and sourced by the federal government to GovPlanet via existing contracts," said the company, a subsidiary of an Illinois-founded, British Columbia-based international operation called Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers-RB Global.

"A third-party firm that has been contracted for construction of the border wall will take receipt of the materials over the next 90 days," GovPlanet added.

GovPlanet officials said they were pleased to work with the administration to return the materials "at-cost" to the feds and "protect the millions of dollars that U.S. taxpayers had already invested in this initiative."

"We are expediting the transfer of these materials to support the administration's border protection plans. We value our longstanding partnership with the U.S. government and look forward to continuing to support America’s federal agencies."
 
I don't care who ends up owning it as long as it get used. Best case would be to be used for its original intended function.

You mean the one Mexico was supposed to pay for?

Money that could be used to actually help Americans...

Instead spent on a useless monument to one mans ego to say he did it.

By hey, why would a Russian propagandist care?

Biden was willing to waste all the paid for materials, while he flew millions into the country. What a clown.
