White House press secretary Sarah Sanders is holding her first White House briefing of the month today. Speculation is that perhaps she will announce that the White House won’t shut down the government in order to press Congress to give them money to fund a border wall. The Washington Post reports:
The Trump administration wants to avoid a partial government shutdown and has found other ways to get the border wall money it wants, spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Tuesday.
