The Democratic National Committee's research team is conducting research of lawsuits on President Donald Trump that span across the US, according to an $4 report on Sunday.
The DNC reportedly investigated 7,000 lawsuits and composed a document of Trump's seemingly uncompromising statements during the 2016 campaign trail, in which he told supporters that Mexico would pay for the US-Mexico border wall.
News of the document's existence comes amid intense scrutiny around Trump's decision to divert $3.6 billion for military construction projects to pay for nearly a dozen projects on the border. Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Tuesday approved the transfer, citing that it would "allow [the Defense Department] to provide support to [Homeland Security] more efficiently and effectively."

The decision sparked outrage amongst Democrats, who pointed to numerous instances in which Trump touted his keystone project - and how Mexico will fund the wall. Trump later backtracked on the issue of funding, telling reporters $4 that he did not mean Mexico would "write out a check."
"When, during the campaign, I would say Mexico is going to pay for it, obviously I never said this and I never meant they're going to write out a check," Trump said. "I said they were going to pay for it - they are. They're paying for it with the incredible deal we made called the United States-Mexico-Canada, USMCA deal."
Different groups, news reporters, and Democrats are expected to possess the unflattering dossier, a source told Axios. The report comes as Democratic candidates prepare for their third debate for the 2020 presidential elections on Thursday, and as a $4 prepare to challenge Trump's potential second term.
DNC chairman Tom Perez said in a recent meeting with other strategists that the move was to "make it about [Trump's] performance as president, not his bigotry or awfulness," a source said to Axios. "Prosecute the case that he is bad at his job and it is hurting people in real way."
A Democrat with knowledge of the plans told Axios that there were "so many ways his actual policies have really hurt people or how he's been ineffective in fulfilling his promises."
