President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had a heated exchange in front of reporters at the White House.
USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Americans have a clear message to Washington as the government hurtles toward a partial shutdown on Friday: Don’t.

By a double-digit margin, 54 percent to 29 percent, those surveyed in a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll say they oppose the shutdown that President Trump has threatened if Congress doesn’t agree to his demand for $5 billion in funding for a border wall. 

Who would bear the blame?

By nearly 2-1, Americans would blame Trump and the Republicans, not congressional Democrats. Forty-three percent would blame the president and the GOP, while 24 percent would hold congressional Democrats responsible. Thirty percent would blame both sides equally responsible.

“Completely, it’s Donald Trump’s fault,” says Dave Dobrin, 60, a retired computer programmer from Orange County, Calif., who was among those surveyed. A political independent, he voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016. “He has the emotional maturity of a 6-year-old, and he is going to have a tantrum if he doesn’t get his way.”

But Dwayne Pyle, 33, a Republican who voted for Trump, says the need for a wall to secure the southern border is crucial and blames Democrats for refusing to cooperate with the president. “We hired him to do a job,” said Pyle, of Redding, Calif., who works in sewer-line maintenance. “We didn’t hire him to make everybody happy or appease people.”

There is, unsurprisingly, a sharp partisan divide about attitudes toward the shutdown.

Democrats are almost universally opposed to it, 83 percent-6 percent. Independents are also overwhelmingly against the idea, 56 percent to 22 percent. But two-thirds of Republicans support a shutdown; one in five oppose it.

The blame game also has a partisan cast.

Democrats (81 percent of them) place the blame on Republicans. Republicans (58 percent of them) place the blame on Democrats. And independents (43 percent of them) place more blame on both parties equally than on either individually.

 

The nationwide survey of 1,000 registered voters, taken by landline and cell phone Tuesday through Sunday, has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

The partial shutdown, which would begin three days before Christmas, would be the third since Trump took office two years ago.

More: Government shutdown? You’ll still get mail and packages, be able to travel

At the moment, there seems to be no clear plan to avoid the shutdown that looms at midnight Friday for the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies. Trump declared at a White House meeting with Democratic congressional leaders last week that he would be “proud” to take responsibility for shutting down the government if Congress refused to approve the funding he wants for a wall. 

But that proposal almost certainly can’t command the 60 votes it would need to pass the Senate. Even approval in the Republican-controlled House isn’t assured. 

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called on Republicans to persuade Trump to back down. “They just have to have the guts to tell President Trump he’s off the deep end here and all he is going to get with his temper tantrum is a shutdown,” Schumer said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “He will not get a wall.”

But Stephen Miller, a senior White House aide, showed no signs of compromise. “We’re going to do whatever is necessary to build the border wall to stop this ongoing crisis of illegal immigration,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Including a shutdown? “If it comes to it, absolutely.”

Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani told “Fox News Sunday” that President Trump will sit down one-on-one with Special Counsel Robert Mueller “over my dead body” amid bombshell new revelations in the false statements case against ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, whom Giuliani said was “railroaded” and “framed.”

In a spirited back-and-forth with host Chris Wallace, Giuliani also reiterated his claim that Trump initially “didn’t know about” the hush-money payments made to two women by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen that prosecutors have alleged constituted campaign finance violations.

Giuliani said Trump eventually found out about the payments and reimbursed Cohen, adding that Cohen is a “complete, pathological liar” who defied basic principles of ethics by secretly tape-recording his own client for several hours.

“Yes, this man is lying — is that a surprise to you, that Michael Cohen is lying?” Giuliani asked. “The man got up in front of a judge and said, ‘I was fiercely loyal to Donald Trump.’ Nonsense. He wasn’t fiercely loyal to him, he taped him. He sat there with [CNN anchor] Chris Cuomo, told him he wasn’t being taped, showed him a drawer and he lied to him and taped him for two hours.”

FBI MISSES DEADLINE TO PROVIDE DOCS ON MYSTERIOUS WHISTLEBLOWER RAID

In April, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he didn’t know about Cohen’s $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, or how he got the money. But in a September 2016 tape recorded by Cohen, Trump apparently tells Cohen he was aware of a hush-money payment to buy the silence of another woman, Karen McDougal.

Playboy model Karen McDougal, left, sued to be released from a 2016 agreement requiring her to keep quiet about an alleged tryst she claims she had with Donald Trump, as Stormy Daniels said she passed a 2011 polygraph test.

“There was an intervening conversation” after the payment took place and before the Air Force One comments, Giuliani said, that led to Trump reimbursing Cohen’s payment. The reimbursement could be legally significant because, while third parties like Cohen are limited in the amount they can contribute to a presidential candidate, candidates themselves have no such spending limit.

Top Democrats, including incoming House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., have said any campaign finance violation by Trump “certainly” could be impeachable. But they have so far cautioned against pursuing impeachment based on campaign finance concerns alone, as top legal experts and a former Federal Election Commission chairman have said that obtaining a criminal conviction for such alleged violations is often extremely difficult.

While Cohen has pleaded guilty to violating campaign finance laws “at the direction of” Trump, he also pleaded guilty to a smattering of unrelated fraud and false statemens charges — and Trump has suggested his former attorney was simply seeking a lenient sentence. Last week, a tearful Cohen who lamented covering up what he characterized as Trump’s “dirty deeds” was sentenced to 36 months in prison.

MUELLER RELEASES FLYNN DOCS SHOWING FBI CONCERNS ABOUT BREAKING PROTOCOL TO  INTERVIEW HIM

Giuliani also suggested to Wallace that Trump had difficulty remembering the 2016 conversation while aboard Air Force One.

“That was a conversation he was asked, middle of the campaign — he’s working 18 hours a day. I wouldn’t be able to remember a lot of things that happened in September of 2016. … When he sat down with his lawyer, and went through it in great detail, and saw things that could refresh his recollection, we immediately corrected it. Nobody pushed us.”

“Over my dead body. But, you know, I could be dead.”

— Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, on a Mueller interview 

Trump tweeted Sunday morning that Cohen “only became a ‘Rat'” after the FBI raided his office in April. “Why didn’t they break into the DNC to get the Server, or Crooked’s office?” Trump asked, in an apparent reference to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Asked whether Trump — who has already provided written responses to inquiries from the special counsel — would meet with Mueller, Giuliani responded, “Yeah, good luck, good luck — after what they did to Flynn, the way they trapped him into perjury, and no sentence for him.” (Mueller has recommended Flynn receive no jail time, and Flynn is set to be sentenced Dec. 18.)

He added: “Over my dead body. But, you know, I could be dead.”

Flynn pleaded guilty this year to making false statements to FBI agents who broke the agency’s usual protocol by interviewing him at the White House without involving the White House Counsel’s office.

COMEY ADMITS SENDING AGENTS DIRECT TO INTERVIEW FLYNN WAS SOMETHING FBI ‘GOT AWAY WITH’

Flynn has since said in a bombshell court filing that top FBI brass pressured him not to bring a lawyer to the interview, which prompted the federal judge overseeing the case to demand all relevant documents from Mueller’s team for review. It remains technically possible for the judge to overturn Flynn’s guilty plea if he finds that it was coerced, or would represent a miscarriage of justice.

The agents who interviewed Flynn at the White House in January 2017 — including Strzok — said they did not initially think Flynn was lying.

The documents released by the Mueller team on Friday in response to the judge’s order reveal that the decision to interview Flynn about his contacts with the Russian ambassador was controversial within the Justice Department. One FBI document said then-Acting Attorney General Sally Yates “was not happy” when then-FBI Director James Comey informed her that the FBI planned to talk to Flynn.

The report also said several unnamed people back at FBI headquarters “later argued about the FBI’s decision to interview Flynn.” On Jan. 23, 2017 — just one day before the Flynn interview — The Washington Post, citing FBI sources, reported that the FBI had wiretapped Flynn’s conversations with Russian officials and cleared him of any wrongdoing.

While many sections of Mueller’s Friday filing are redacted, prosecutors apparently did not provide a so-called “302” witness report that FBI policy dictates should have been written contemporaneously with the Flynn interview. Instead, they provided a 302 report of an interview with Strzok months later on unrelated matters, in which Strzok also discussed his interview with Flynn and said he appeared to be telling the truth.

Strzok was removed from the Mueller probe for anti-Trump bias in late July 2017, after text messages surfaced in which he bashed the president and apparently coordinated media leaks detrimental to the White House.

Giuliani told Wallace that “the president doesn’t know that [Flynn] lied” to FBI agents, pointing out that there is no public evidence — other than Flynn’s guilty plea — that he committed the crime. Flynn, under significant financial pressure as a result of the prosecution, sold his home in Virginia this year.

On Sunday, GOP Rep. Devin Nunes told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that Flynn had likely only pleaded guilty because of that overwhelming financial pressure and because “he was just out of money.”

While Trump did tweet early last year that Flynn had lied to the FBI, Giuliani said the president was simply using publicly available information to come to that conclusion. “He knows what he reads,” Giuliani said, referring to Trump.

“What they did to General Flynn should result in discipline,” Giuliani continued. “They’re the ones who are violating the law. They’re looking at a non-crime: collusion. The other guys are looking at a non-crime: campaign violation, which are not violations, and they are the ones who are violating the law, the rules, the ethics, nobody wants to look at them. They destroyed Strzok and Page’s 19,000 texts. If he destroyed texts, they would put him in jail, even though they can’t because he’s the president.”

Giuliani acknowledged that Flynn had misled Vice President Pence regarding his conversations with the then-Russian ambassador, admitting “that was a lie, but that’s not a crime.”

Giuliani, the former U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, derided Mueller’s efforts in another false statements prosecution in the Russia probe.  George Papadopoulos, recently released from prison after pleading guilty to making false statements to FBI agents, said Friday he plans to run for a seat in the House of Representatives.

“Fourteen days for [former Trump aide George] Papadopoulos — I did better on traffic violations than they did with Papadopoulos,” Giuliani said.

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IG BLAMES FBI-WIDE SOFTWARE GLITCH FOR MISSING TEXTS, ADMITS STRZOK, PAGE PHONES WIPED

He then pointed to a report by the Department of Justice’s internal watchdog last week, which blamed a technical glitch for a swath of missing text messages between anti-Trump ex-FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page — and revealed that government phones issued by Mueller’s office to Strzok and Page had been wiped clean after Strzok was fired from the Russia probe.

Giuliani linked the Cohen prosecutions for campaign finance violations to the Mueller probe, saying Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — a frequent target of several conservatives in Congress, who sought to impeach him this summer — is overseeing both probes.

Mueller referred the Cohen campaign finance case to Southern District of New  York prosecutors because it fell outside the ambit of his mandate to probe Russian collusion. Cohen has also pleaded guilty in a separate case brought by Mueller’s team on a charge that Cohen lied to Congress by claiming that work on a since-abandoned plan to build a Trump Tower in Moscow had stopped in early mid-2016, when it really continued for months afterwards.

“The person in charge of this investigation is Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general,” Giuliani said. “He is the boss of Mueller, and he is the boss of the Southern District of New York. He’s the one that determined, ‘let’s move it over here’ — he put it there, in the Southern District of New York. They’re working for the same Rod Rosenstein.”

Multiple reports and indications suggest that the Mueller probe is winding down. Speaking to ABC’s “This Week,” Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said the end result should be as transparent as possible.

“When Mueller’s investigation is complete, whenever that may be, it should be disclosed to the American public,” Durbin said. “They ought to see it in detail, understand everything that has transpired.”

Responding to Giuliani’s claims that hush-money payments would not be criminal, Durbin effectively told all parties to wait and see.

“I think the responsibility of Congress is very clear: park yourselves on the sidelines and let Mueller complete this investigation,” Durbin said.

Meanwhile, former FBI Director James Comey acknowledged last week that when the agency initiated its counterintelligence probe into possible collusion between Trump campaign officials and the Russian government in July 2016, investigators “didn’t know whether we had anything” and that “in fact, when I was fired as director [in May 2017], I still didn’t know whether there was anything to it.”

His remarks square with testimony this summer from Page, the former FBI lawyer whose anti-Trump texts became a focus of House GOP oversight efforts. Page told Congress in a closed-door deposition that “even as far as May 2017” — more than nine months after the counterintelligence probe commenced — “we still couldn’t answer the question” as to whether Trump staff had improperly colluded with Russia.

Goldman Sachs shares fell, plumbing new lows for 2018, as the money laundering probe involving Malaysia’s state investment fund “1MDB” took a more serious turn for the firm on Monday.

Malaysia filed criminal charges against Goldman Sachs and two employees, Tim Leissner and Roger Ng, in connection with the probe. Goldman raised $6.5 billion in 2012 and 2013 for the fund through three bond deals.

In an emailed statement to Reuters, a Goldman spokesman said, “these charges are misdirected” and that the bank continues to cooperate with all authorities.

Goldman Sachs shares have collapsed this quarter on developments with the probe and are now down 34 percent this year. With Monday’s decline of 2.4 percent at 9:34 a.m., those losses were set to mount.

The drop in the stock accelerated in early November after Malaysia’s finance minister said he would seek a full refund on the $600 million in fees the country paid the bank for arranging the bond deals. Goldman also faces possible fines from a U.S. Department of Justice investigation into its role in the 1MDB scandal.

Former Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein attended a 2009 meeting with Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho and an associate, who are accused with laundering billions of dollars from the fund, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

Pushing the government to the brink of a partial shutdown, the White House is insisting that Congress provide $5 billion to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border despite lawmaker resistance from both parties.

Without a resolution, parts of the federal government will shut down at midnight Friday.

“We’re going to do whatever is necessary to build the border wall to stop this ongoing crisis of illegal immigration,” White House senior adviser Stephen Miller said Sunday.

Asked if that meant having a government shutdown, he said: “If it comes to it, absolutely.”

Trump said last week he would be “proud” to have a shutdown to get Congress to approve a $5 billion down payment to fulfill his campaign promise to build a border wall. But the president doesn’t have the votes from the Republican-controlled Congress to support funding for the wall at that level.

Both parties in Congress have suggested that Trump would likely need to make the next move to resolve the impasse. The House is taking an extended weekend break, returning Wednesday night. The Senate returns Monday after a three-day absence.

Democratic congressional leaders, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, have proposed no more than $1.6 billion, as outlined in a bipartisan Senate bill. The money would not go for the wall but for fencing upgrades and other border security. Democrats also offered to simply keep funding at its current level, $1.3 billion.

Showing no signs of budging, Schumer said Sunday that it was up to Trump to decide whether the federal government will partially shut down, sending thousands of federal employees home without pay during the holidays.

About one-quarter of the government would be affected, including the departments of Homeland Security, Transportation, Agriculture, State and Justice, as well as national parks.

“He is not going to get the wall in any form,” Schumer said.

Trump had neither accepted nor rejected the Democrats’ proposal as of Friday, according to the Democrats, telling them he would take a look. Trump will need Democratic votes either way, now or in the new year, for passage.

Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, the No. 3 Republican in the Senate, said Republicans remain hopeful they can come up with a proposal that can be acceptable to Trump and pass both chambers. He suggested that could take the form of a stopgap bill that extends funding until January, or a longer-term bill that includes money for border security.

“There are a lot of things you need to do with border security,” he said. “One is a physical barrier but also the technology, the manpower, the enforcement, all of those things, and our current laws are in some ways an incentive for people to come to this country illegally, and they go through great risk and possibly great harm.”

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, urged senators to revisit a bill she helped push earlier this year that would provide $2.5 billion for border security, including physical barriers as well as technology and border patrol agents.

Schumer declined to say whether Democrats would be willing to consider proposals other than the two options that he and Pelosi offered.

Republicans “should join us in one of these two proposals, which would get more than enough votes passed and avoid a shutdown,” Schumer said. “Then, if the president wants to debate the wall next year, he can. I don’t think he’ll get it. But he shouldn’t use innocent workers as hostage for his temper tantrum.”

Miller and Barrasso spoke on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Schumer appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” and Collins was on ABC’s “This Week.”

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia issued an unusually strong rebuke of the U.S. Senate on Monday, rejecting a bipartisan resolution that put the blame for the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi squarely on the Saudi crown prince and describing it as interference in the kingdom’s affairs.

It’s the latest sign of how the relationship between the royal court and Congress has deteriorated, more than two months after Khashoggi was killed and dismembered by Saudi agents inside the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul. The assassins have been linked to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement that if senior State Department and other American officials believed they could force North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons by increasing sanctions and their “human rights racket to an unprecedented level,” it would be the “greatest miscalculation.”

Instead, the statement added, “it will block the path to denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula forever — a result desired by no one.” The statement, issued in the name of the policy research director of the North’s Institute for American Studies, was carried by the country’s official Korean Central News Agency.

The warning came amid a prolonged stalemate in negotiations between North Korea and the United States over the terms of denuclearization. In his meeting with Mr. Trump in June, Mr. Kim committed to “work toward the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” In return, Mr. Trump promised peace on the peninsula, as well as security guarantees for “new” relations with North Korea.

Mr. Trump claimed that the North Korean nuclear crisis had been “largely solved” with the summit meeting. Since June, the North Koreans have refrained from criticizing Mr. Trump, whose impulsive and flamboyant negotiating style, analysts said, was favored by the North Koreans.

But the North has become increasingly angry at American negotiators, as working-level talks have bogged down over who should do what first in putting the broadly worded Singapore agreement into action. On Sunday, the North Korean institute accused officials from the State Department and other United States agencies of trying to sabotage the summit deal between Mr. Kim and Mr. Trump.

The Trump administration Sunday reaffirmed the president’s insistence that he would allow a partial shutdown of the federal government if Congress does not provide $5 billion to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, with senior adviser Stephen Miller calling it a “fundamental issue.”

“At stake is the question of whether or not the United States remains a sovereign country,” Miller told CBS News’ “Face The Nation.” “The Democrat Party has a simple choice. They can either choose to fight for America’s working class or to promote illegal immigration. You can’t do both.”

“At stake is the question of whether or not the United States remains a sovereign country. The Democrat Party has a simple choice. They can either choose to fight for America’s working class or to promote illegal immigration. You can’t do both.”

— Stephen Miller, senior adviser to President Trump

When asked if the administration was willing to allow parts of the government to cease operation at midnight Friday if the wall is not funded, Miller answered: “If it comes to it, absolutely.”

On NBC News’ “Meet The Press,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., insisted that President Trump “is not going to get the wall in any form.”

“President Trump should understand, there are not the votes for the wall in the House or the Senate,” Schumer said. “Even the House, which is a majority Republican, they don’t have the votes for his $5 billion wall plan … And we should not let a temper tantrum, threats, push us in the direction of doing something that everybody, even our Republican colleagues, know is wrong.”

Trump said last week he would be “proud” to have a shutdown to get Congress to approve a $5 billion down payment to fulfill his campaign promise to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Still, the president doesn’t have the votes from the Republican-controlled Congress to support funding for the wall at that level.

Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have proposed no more than $1.6 billion for border fencing upgrades and other security measures — but not a wall — as outlined in a bipartisan Senate bill. Democrats also offered to keep funding at its current level, $1.3 billion.

“[Republicans] should join us in one of these two proposals, which would get more than enough votes passed and avoid a shutdown,” Schumer said. “Then, if the president wants to debate the wall next year, he can. I don’t think he’ll get it. But he shouldn’t use innocent workers as hostage for his temper tantrum to sort of throw a bone to his base.”

Both parties in Congress have suggested that Trump would need to make the next move to resolve the impasse. The House is taking an extended weekend break, returning Wednesday night. The Senate returns Monday after a three-day absence.

Trump neither accepted nor rejected the Democrats’ proposal as of Friday, according to the Democrats, telling them he would take a look. Trump would need Democratic votes either now or in the new year, for passage.

SCHIFF PREVIEWS NEW LINE OF ATTACK AGAINST TRUMP

Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., told “Face The Nation” that Republicans remained hopeful they could come up with a proposal that would be acceptable to Trump and pass both chambers. He suggested that could take the form of a stopgap bill extending funding until January or a longer-term bill including money for border security.

“There are a lot of things you need to do with border security,” he said. “One is a physical barrier but also the technology, the manpower, the enforcement, all of those things, and our current laws are in some ways an incentive for people to come to this country illegally, and they go through great risk and possibly great harm.”

Appearing on ABC News’ “This Week,” Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, urged senators to revisit a bill she helped push earlier this year that would provide $2.5 billion for border security, including physical barriers as well as technology and border patrol agents.

“There’s absolutely no excuse to shut down government on this issue or any other issue,” said Collins, who added of her proposal: “I hope it would be good enough for the president … There’s a compromise and people will come to the table in good faith on both sides. We have to prevent a government shutdown.”

How they might accomplish both goals remained unclear.

“There is widespread support for protecting people with pre-existing conditions. There’s also widespread opposition to the individual mandate,’’ said Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine), speaking on CNN. She said the insurance-purchasing requirement, which is intended to ensure enough healthy people buy policies to make the plans economically viable, was particularly burdensome for low- and middle-income families.

Democrats called for a quick vote to intervene in the federal case, to show the judge in the case that the intent of Congress has been to preserve the law.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said Sunday on NBC that Democrats will press the GOP leadership to hold a floor vote urging intervention in the case. “We have a divided House and Senate,” he said. “I think the courts have to be the first and best way to go.”

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled Friday that the ACA is unconstitutional. He sided with the claims of 20 Republican-led states that brought a lawsuit seeking to strike down the law.

The law remains in place for now, and the Trump administration has signaled it plans to enforce it. But its future is uncertain, and the ruling essentially leaves decisions on implementing the law to the states in the near term.

Congress has been unable to pass substantive health care legislation at a time when Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House. With Democrats taking control of the House next month, the prospects for anything beyond modest legislation are likely to become dimmer.

That could mean the next substantial steps rest on legal action rather than legislation.

The legal staff working for Attorney General Xavier Becerra of California, one of several Democratic-led states moving to defend the health law, spent the weekend examining their legal options. They said they would challenge the decision soon.

House Democrats are gearing up to push legislation introduced in March by Representatives Frank Pallone Jr. (D., N.J.), Richard Neal (D., Mass,) and Bobby Scott (D., Va.) that would blockTrump administration initiatives to roll back the ACA.

Many Republicans said on the campaign trail this fall that they supported some goals of the ACA, most prominently ensuring coverage for people with existing conditions. Now, Republican lawmakers will have to decide whether to support legislation that meets those goals or resume the GOP push to overhaul the health law.

“We’ll sit down with the Democrats, if the Supreme Court upholds,’’ President Trump said on Saturday. He was apparently referring to expectations that the ACA case will reach the high court. “We’ll be sitting down with the Democrats, and we will get great health care for our people. That’s a repeal and replace, handled a little bit differently.’’

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa), who will lead the Senate Finance Committee in the new Congress, said the committee would hold hearings on the health law.

A group of Senate Republicans introduced legislation in August that would ban insurers on the individual market from denying coverage to people with past or current medical conditions, or from charging them more. Insurers still would be able to exclude any coverage related to that condition, however, and could vary premiums based on age and gender—all of which are barred by the ACA.

The Supreme Court has upheld the ACA’s mandate that most people carry health insurance or pay a penalty, and also ruled that the government can subsidize health-insurance purchases for lower-income Americans. The pair of decisions preserved key pillars of the ACA.

Last year, a Republican Congress eliminated the monetary penalty for individuals who choose to forgo health insurance. That change opened the door for a group of Republican-led states to mount a new challenge to the law.

Judge O’Connor said the new absence of a penalty undercut the Supreme Court’s reasoning for upholding the ACA. The high court in 2012 said the penalty for going without health insurance could be construed as a tax that Congress had the constitutional authority to levy.

With the tax now at $0 for 2019, the ACA can’t be upheld under Congress’s taxing power, Judge O’Connor ruled. He noted that the Supreme Court in its 2012 ruling already said Congress can’t use its powers over interstate commerce to require people to buy insurance.

The Republican-led General Assembly “has a political motive for doing this. They realize that Mark Harris is a damaged candidate and they’re trying to find a means of replacing him on the ballot,” said U.S. Rep. G. K. Butterfield, a North Carolina Democrat. “So this is a pre-emptive strike, in my opinion, to remove Mark Harris and to get another nominee in there.”

Sunday’s protest was the largest since the new laws were adopted last week

About 10,000 people have rallied in Hungary’s capital Budapest against new labour laws, which have been labelled “slave” legislation by opponents.

The crowds marched towards parliament and the state TV headquarters, in what was the fourth and largest protest since the laws were passed last week.

Police fired tear gas to disperse protesters near the TV station.

New rules mean companies can demand up to 400 hours of overtime a year and delay payment for it for three years.

The government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban says the labour reform will benefit workers as well as companies who need to fill a labour shortage.

Sunday’s demonstration was led by trade unionists and students.

Police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators outside the state TV headquarters

The event was dubbed “Happy Xmas Prime Minister”. Mr Orban is seen by his opponents as becoming increasingly authoritarian.

The prime minister denies the claim.

His governing Fidesz party has said the protests are the work of foreign mercenaries paid by Hungarian-born US billionaire George Soros.

Mr Soros has denied the accusations as lies aimed at creating a false external enemy for the Hungarian authorities.

President TrumpDonald John TrumpBiden, Sanders lead field in Iowa poll The Memo: Cohen fans flames around Trump Memo Comey used to brief Trump on dossier released: report MORE is finding himself increasingly isolated less than a week ahead of a potential government shutdown, as even members of his own party admit that he has backed himself into a corner with his demands for $5 billion in funding for a wall on the Mexican border. 

“Everybody is looking to him for a signal about what he wants to do, and so far it’s not clear,” Sen. John CornynJohn CornynKevin McLaughlin tapped to serve as NRSC executive director for 2020 On The Money: Trump leaves GOP in turmoil with shutdown looming | Trump names Mulvaney acting chief of staff | China agrees to 3-month freeze of auto tariffs | Dem to seek Deutsche Bank records of Trump’s personal finances The Hill’s Morning Report — Trump maintains his innocence amid mounting controversies MORE (R-Texas) said of the president.  

Few Republicans will criticize Trump on the record, but behind the scenes there is frustration that he has weakened the GOP’s negotiating position with Democrats. There is also a sense that Trump might not be worried about the fallout for his party if his own supporters delight in his fighting with Democrats.

“Trump will get the blame, but he won’t care,” one GOP lawmaker told The Hill. “And the base will love him for it.”

Trump’s declaration last week that he would be “proud” to shut down the government to secure $5 billion for his border wall emboldened Democrats.

They say they will only agree to measures that extends last year’s funding level, which would provide $1.6 billion for border security, including $1.3 billion for pedestrian fencing.

Rep. Nancy PelosiNancy Patricia D’Alesandro PelosiTrump celebrates judge’s decision tossing core tenets of ObamaCare Pelosi gets her swagger on Young girl’s death draws new scrutiny over US treatment of migrants MORE (D-Calif.), the presumed next Speaker, publicly challenged Trump on whether Republicans could muster enough votes to pass such a bill in the House.

“You won’t win,” she told him at an extraordinary televised Oval Office meeting on Tuesday alongside Senate Minority Leader Charles SchumerCharles (Chuck) Ellis SchumerRetired Gen. McChrystal: Sending troops to build wall could be seen as ‘misuse of power’ ‘It’s called transparency’ works for Trump on TV, not so much on campaign finance Trump, Pelosi, Schumer: No adult in the room MORE (D-N.Y.).

The House GOP’s decision to adjourn until Wednesday night, just two days ahead of the shutdown deadline, seemed to indicate that she was correct, though top Republicans continue to insist that they may bring the bill to a vote next week, and cautioned members that they should be prepared to return to Washington early.

While Republicans dutifully blame Democrats, most seem to agree that, were it not for Trump, there would be little trouble keeping the government open.

If he were to give the go-ahead to compromise, they say Congress would be able to pass appropriation measures for the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies that would keep the government open.

“The six bills we have are basically written and read out, ready to go, and with this one it’s only a portion of it that’s in dispute, so when the people who disagree come to an agreement, we can move,” said Rep. Tom ColeThomas (Tom) Jeffrey ColeTrump leaves GOP in turmoil with shutdown looming GOP struggles to win votes for Trump’s B wall demand Shutdown ‘more than possible,’ says top Senate appropriator MORE (R-Okla.), an appropriator.

Republicans have also made clear that they oppose shutting down the government.

“One thing I think is pretty clear no matter who precipitates the government shutdown is the American people don’t like it,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnellAddison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellTrump touts ruling against ObamaCare: ‘Mitch and Nancy’ should pass new health-care law Federal judge in Texas strikes down ObamaCare Ocasio-Cortez: By Lindsey Graham’s 1999 standard for Clinton, Trump should be impeached MORE (R-Ky.), who has been key to passing many of Trump’s key accomplishments, this week. 

“I don’t think anybody wants a shutdown,” added Rep. Scott PerryScott Gordon PerryThree Republicans battle to succeed Meadows at House Freedom Caucus Democratic gains erasing House GOP in California House Republicans set to elect similar team of leaders despite midterm thumping MORE (R-Pa.)

Cole warned that “you will lose a shutdown fight if you start it.” 

Since Trump and Democrats laid down their lines at Tuesday’s explosive Oval Office meeting neither side has budged. Democrats, naturally, blame the president.

“We’ve agreed to 99.9 percent. We disagree on the wall, but they want to shut down the government,” House Democratic Whip Steny HoyerSteny Hamilton HoyerPelosi gets her swagger on Term limit fight highlights growing pains for Pelosi’s majority DeGette dropped from chief deputy whip spot MORE (Md.) told The Hill. “And we thought the Mexicans were going to pay for it,” he added.

“If it were up to the Senate we could get all the appropriations bills done by Friday,” said Sen. Patrick LeahyPatrick Joseph LeahyShutdown would affect 800K federal workers, Senate Dems say Oval Office clash ups chances of shutdown Senators dumbfounded by Trump vow to shut down government MORE (D-Vt.), the vice chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. “The difficult thing is that the experience has been when you make an agreement with President Trump, he thinks of something else two days later and changes his mind.”

Trump also seems to lack public support on the matter, according to an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll survey published Tuesday, which found that 57 percent of respondents wanted the president to avoid a shutdown and compromise on the wall. 

But the sentiment was different among Trump’s base, which has often been more important in his decisionmaking. The poll found that 65 percent of Republicans surveyed did not want Trump to compromise. 

Trump has tried to throw the blame back at Democrats, tweeting a video Thursday night accusing them of hypocrisy on border security. 

“Let’s not do a shutdown, Democrats – do what’s right for the American People!” he wrote.

So far, the best prospects to avoid a shutdown that would affect 800,000 federal workers across the country seem to be short stopgap measures to push the fight until after Christmas or into the new year.

“It depends, really, on what the president would be willing to consider,” Cornyn said.
