The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate said Tuesday he’s worried that President Donald Trump will shut down the federal government in an effort to impede the impeachment process.

“ “I’m increasingly worried that President Trump will want to shut down the government again because of impeachment. He always likes to create diversions. I hope and pray he won’t want to cause another government shutdown because it might be a diversion away from impeachment.” ” — Sen. Chuck Schumer

Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York told reporters Tuesday that he’s concerned that Trump will refuse to sign a short-term spending bill as long as Democrats are pursing his impeachment.
