Senate Passes Bill To Avoid Government Shutdown Risk

On Thursday, the Senate passed a short-term funding bill amid dispute over border wall funding that delays the risk of a government shutdown through Nov. 21.

The Senate voted 82-15 in favor of the continuing resolution after the House already passed it, and it will go to President Donald Trump next for his signature. The President is expected to sign it to prevent a government shutdown that would otherwise occur on Oct. 1 if such an appropriations bill was not enacted.

The continuing resolution delays the fight over the U.S.-Mexico border wall spending through Nov. 21, when the dispute may slowdown passage again just a week before Thanksgiving.

Whistleblower Complaint Says White House Acted To “Lock Down’ Trump-Ukraine Call

A whistleblower’s complaint about President Donald Trump was made public on Thursday.  In the complaint, it states that the White House officials were so concerned about what the president said in a July call with Ukraine’s new leader that they intervened to “lock down” the transcript of the conversation.

The whistleblower’s name and gender has not been released; they lodged the formal complaint out of a belief that Trump was “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country” in the 2020 election.

In the call, Trump discussed having Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy help investigate the Biden family’s business dealings. The matter is now the subject of a formal impeachment inquiry that was launched by the House this week.
