Deal reached on $1.3 trillion government spending bill
Congressional negotiators agreed on a $1.3 trillion spending bill late Wednesday, that would avert a government shutdown Saturday. The bill includes $1.5 billion to partially fund President Donald Trump's border wall, as well as spending increases for defense, infrastructure projects and opioid-fighting efforts, but does not take steps to protect so-called Dreamers or make payments to subsidize health insurers. The bill has the support of the White House and is expected to pass in the House and Senate on Friday.
