Just ten minutes ago, at 9:40 pm, on Friday, January 25, 2019, hundreds of thousands of federal employees had been asked to return to work and “reopen offices in a prompt and orderly manner” , ending the 35-day partial government shutdown. After President Donald Trump signed a bill that would temporarily reopen the federal government for three weeks (until Feb. 15, 2019), the Office of Management and Budget sent a memo to the heads of shuttered departments and agencies. The memo indicated that the office appreciated “a cooperation and efforts during this difficult period.” Trump backed down from his demand of billions of dollars of funding to build the border wall, but he warns that the government could potentially shut down again “if we don’t get a fair deal from Congress.” As part of the deal, a bipartisan committee of House and Senate lawmakers was being formed to review border security recommendations.
Washington Post’s Phil Rucker, The Daily Beast’s Sam Stein, former Chief of staff at the CIA Jeremy Bash, former DOJ spox Matt Miller, Axios’ Jonathan Swan, and former Rep. Donna Edwards on Trump’s announcement to end the government shutdown without any money for the border wall, in the video “Former WH Insider Says ‘Donald Trump Looks Pathetic’ After Folding On Shutdown“, below:
CNN’s Jake Tapper says that President Donald Trump shut down a part of the federal government for no reason because Trump got no funding for the border wall, in the video “Tapper: Trump shut down government for no reason“, below:
