WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A high-level meeting of U.S. House of Representatives Republicans ended on Tuesday with no deal and no draft immigration legislation even being offered, a leading lawmaker said upon exiting the 90-minute, closed-door session.

Representative Mark Meadows, who heads a group of hard-right conservative Republicans, told reporters that while he was still optimistic a compromise could be found, there was “no deal at this point” and “I haven’t seen a draft proposal” for legislation.
