SHUTDOWN DRAMA FAR FROM OVER: As furloughed federal workers prepare to return to work on Monday, President Trump says he doubts he could accept any deal from lawmakers that give him less than his requested $5.7 billion for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, fueling the possibility that there could be another partial government shutdown in a few weeks ... In an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, the president also was skeptical on whether a bipartisan group of lawmakers chosen to negotiate a budget deal could reach an agreement before funding for most government agencies runs out on Feb. 15, saying, "I personally think it’s less than 50-50, but you have a lot of very good people on that board."

On Friday, Trump signed a short-term spending bill reopening the government and ending the 35-day shutdown without any funding for his long-promised border barrier, a reversal from last month when he refused to sign any funding legislation that did not provide wall money. Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney strongly suggested on "Fox News Sunday" that Trump will construct a border wall using his emergency powers if Congress cannot agree on a compromise to fund the construction in the next three weeks.
