How would Biden deciding to withhold the appropriated funds for border fencing/wall be any different than Trump withholding appropriated funds from Ukraine?
Trump tied the funding to a specific request to investigate Hunter Biden. That's an abuse of power. Failing to spend the money is not an abuse of power.
It's easy enough to not spend money. Just declare it a matter of priorities. The same way marijuana controls are ignored. Or the way Biden decided not to spend the money appropriated for enforcing long-established immigration laws like detain and deport.
