January 11, 2019 at 6:38 am EST By Taegan Goddard
Inside the West Wing, Jared Kushner, the presidents son-in-law and senior adviser, has been lobbying for restraint, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Declaring a national emergency, an option Mr. Trump has been leaning toward, shouldnt be used to try to win a messaging war against Democrats opposed to a wall, Mr. Kushner said in a recent Oval Office meeting.
Instead, Mr. Kushner argued an emergency should be invoked only if it creates a clear path for the White House to build the wall, the key issue in the standoff between Mr. Trump and congressional Democrats that has led to the shutdown.

He still wants to use the idea of a wall to justify a national emergency.
