Excerpt
Though the White House has worked to prepare an emergency declaration invoking President Donald Trump’s sweeping executive powers, West Wing aides have warned that it would alienate some conservatives who have otherwise been loyal to the White House.
Mulvaney on Wednesday indicated that if Trump is unsatisfied with the deal reached in Congress, the president will take executive action — but avoided saying that he would declare a national emergency.
“If Congress won’t participate and won’t go along, we’ll figure out a way to do it with executive authority,” he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
Privately, Mulvaney and other senior officials, including White House policy adviser Jared Kushner, have been warning Trump about the drawbacks of taking executive action or employing emergency powers. The president’s chief of staff has described an emergency declaration as something he hopes to avoid due to expected legal backlash, according to SIX people familiar with his thinking.
Mulvaney pushed back on the notion that he has tried to warn Trump off from declaring a national emergency. “I’ve never said that to anyone in my life,” he said in an interview with POLITICO Wednesday.
