White House officials assured conservative groups during a Thursday meeting that Trump will leave his infrastructure plan out of any tax reform efforts, according to a source who was at the meeting.
While the comments appear consistent with a one-page tax plan summary released by the administration in April, there had still been hope on Capitol Hill that tax reform would be used to help pay for Trumps rebuilding effort.
And Trump himself has repeatedly floated the idea of linking the two issues together in an effort to get more Democrats on board.
But White House officials told conservatives that Trump would not couple his tax plan with infrastructure or use tax reform to help pay for the rebuilding program, though they emphasized the infrastructure proposal is still being developed, a source said.

FWIW his infrastructure program amounts to selling our freeways and airports to private industry who'll charge us to use them.
