Top Democrats ask for a meeting with Trump ahead of government shutdown [View all]
(NPR) Top congressional Democrats are asking President Trump for a meeting before an impending government shutdown.
"We write to demand a meeting in connection with your decision to shut down the federal government," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, both of New York, wrote in a Saturday morning letter.
The pair say that GOP leaders have "repeatedly and publicly refused to engage in bipartisan negotiations to keep the government open."
