Biden's handlers folded on this one. None of them wanted to risk contempt of court in a Trump Administration with Trump's people in charge of the DOJ.

Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a victory for President-elect Donald Trump’s border-security agenda during a hearing today before a federal judge. The hearing was called at Attorney General Paxton’s request to uncover potential legal violations committed by the Biden Administration after recent reports that segments of the border wall were auctioned off for pennies on the dollar.
The Biden Administration confirmed to the court today that it will agree to an order preventing the outgoing administration from disposing of any further border wall materials over the next 30 days—allowing President Trump to use those materials as he sees fit. This will be adopted as an order of the court, making it enforceable if any violations occur.
Additionally, the court stated that Texas is entitled to documentation proving that the Biden Administration has not violated an injunction secured by Attorney General Paxton in May of 2024 that required the Biden Administration to spend statutorily obligated funds on border wall construction after the federal government attempted to illegally redirect the money. If it is shown that the Biden Administration disposed of border wall materials purchased with funds subject to that injunction in violation of a court order—or that the Department of Justice made misrepresentations regarding the border materials that have been auctioned off—this would constitute unethical and sanctionable conduct, and the responsible parties could be held in contempt of court.
“We have successfully blocked the Biden Administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office,” said Attorney General Paxton. “This follows our major victory forcing Biden to build the wall, and we will hold his Administration accountable for illegally subverting our Nation’s border security until their very last day in power, especially where their actions are clearly motivated by a desire to thwart President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda.”

Biden hates Trump so much that he wants to go scorched earth on the American people just to spite him.
Possession is nine tenths of the law...

Answered prayer
“Court orders Biden admin to stop selling border wall materials, was ‘illegally subverting’ laws: Texas AG”
The Biden administration on Friday said it would stop selling off materials slated to be used to build a border wall ahead of the incoming Trump administration, which has promised to bring back tougher efforts to combat illegal immigration.
The Biden administration confirmed to a court that it will agree to a court order preventing it from disposing of any further border wall materials over the next 30 days, allowing President-elect Trump to use those materials, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said.
AG Paxton has been doing a lot of heavy lifting lately.
I would’ve preferred Paxton over Bondi as AG for Trump.
“go scorched earth on the American people”
Really. HE is playing fast and loose with OUR money out of spite. Of course, at least 50% of government spending is fast and loose with our money.
I can’t even bring myself to read reports by Rand Paul, etc., about the programs. Teaching kids in some third-world sh!thole how to “go viral” — when they probably don’t even have computers. WTF, anyhow? CLEARLY some money laundering operation going on there. They don’t even try to be clever about hiding it.
Maybe in theory, but Paxton needs to remain in Texas. First off, he wants to be in Texas and likely has no interest in DC (can't say I blame him, if true). Secondly, Texas will be Ground Zero for the wall build and the task of deporting illegals we want gone.
> I would’ve preferred Paxton over Bondi as AG for Trump.<
Me too, until it struck me that the two could be used as a tag team, dim style.
Paxton brings a suit and Bondi settles. Case closed.

According to Ann Coulter, this can’t be true because, according to her, Trump never built a foot of wall.
The Biden Administration confirmed to the court today that it will agree to an order preventing the outgoing administration from disposing of any further border wall materials.
Good deal my first question will a major theft of the material will ensue.
Biden can’t be trusted
“..Biden hates Trump so much that he wants to go scorched earth on the American people just to spite him....”
Trump is just in the way.
Biden hates America so much that he wants to go scorched earth on the American people just to spite him.
He’s a vindictive SOB that’s spent his whole life in govt. jobs and never done a single, solitary thing to help the Americn People...nothing. Yet, he helped himselft to millions upon millions of our hard-earned taxpayer dollars to enrich himself and family. It’s waaaayyy beyond time for this vile POS to return back to his Big Daddy in hell.
Scorched earth began with the lockdown and subsequent intentional destruction of the economy.
Close...
I agree with the fed auctioning off surplus to the public.
In order for material to be declared as surplus, forms need to be filled out and approved by people.
Who signed off declaring this stuff surplus?
Who signed the forms?
Where are the forms?
THIS is what I want to know....
How much of these materials were already sold?
They know they were doing wrong and would get caught. Everything over the past 4 years must be investigated and everyone’s signature found on illegal filings should be charged.
Not Biden but everyone in his admin. Everyone who signature found on any illegal file must be investigated and charged.
