WASHINGTON (Jan 19): President Donald Trump postponed plans to leave Washington on Friday while the US Congress faced a midnight deadline to come up with funding legislation to avoid federal agency shutdowns.
Although the House of Representatives voted 230-197 on Thursday night for a bill to extend expiring funding through Feb 16, the measure appeared to be on the verge of collapse in the Senate.
White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said that on Thursday he was ratcheting up the likelihood of a shutdown from 30 percent to a 50-50 possibility.
