The Senate convenes at 10 a.m. Eastern.

Voices: “We shut down the government for 35 days, we put America through this crisis, we jeopardized our economy — for what?” said Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois, a Democrat, who was part of the committee that negotiated the budget deal. “Totally unnecessary.”

Paul Manafort lied, judge rules

President Trump’s former campaign chairman breached a plea agreement by lying multiple times to prosecutors, a federal judge decided on Wednesday. Mr. Manafort pledged in September to cooperate with the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The judge said Mr. Manafort had lied about his contacts with a Russian associate during the campaign and after the election.

What’s next: The decision could lead to a harsher punishment for Mr. Manafort when he is sentenced next month on two counts of conspiracy. He also awaits sentencing for eight other counts in a related fraud case.
