Neighbors say there's no 10-foot wall outside Obama's house [View all]

Neighbors of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama have disputed President Trump's recent claim that a 10-foot wall stands around the Obama home in Washington, D.C.

Two neighbors in remarks to The Washington Post disputed Trump's characterization.

"There's a fence that goes along the front of the house, but it's the same as the other neighbors have. It's tastefully done," one neighbor, who was kept anonymous, told the newspaper.

Another neighbor also told the Post that the home is completely visible from the street.

"There is no 10-foot wall in the front, back or sides of the house - and no wall is going up," the neighbor said.

Trump on Sunday wrote in a tweet that a "wall" around the Obamas' home is the "same thing" that the U.S. needs on its southern border.
