Donald Trump's “high crimes and misdemeanours” will be made public when Robert Mueller gives testimony before Congress later this week, says House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Mr Nadler said the former FBI special counsel has “substantial evidence” that the president violated the law “six ways from Sunday”, which will be made clear to the American people when Mr Mueller discusses the evidence contained in his 448-page report into the administration before his panel and the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday.

In a new embarrassment for the administration, US Customs and Border Protection has been forced to admit that no new stretches of President Trump's much-promised border wall have actually been built since he took office in January 2017 - all the work ongoing so far has been to repair pre-existing barriers.
