jake we reached out to both bezos and sanchez for comment to the enquirer report. neither responded to our request. jake? jason carroll, thank you so much. you can follow me on twitter or at the lead cnn. our coverage on cnn continues right now. happening now, back against the wall, president trump returning from the southern border, declaring he s almost ready to declare a national emergency to get his wall built. with negotiations in the state of collapse, is that the only way to end the government shutdown? i never said this. one of his key campaign slogans was that mexico would pay for a wall. now the president insists he never said those words or actually meant them. so if he starts building a wall, are u.s. taxpayers now on the hook? cohen public.
