Trump wants to brief congressional leaders on border wallNY Post, Jan 1, 2018, Nikki Schwab
WASHINGTON — President Trump has invited congressional leaders to the White House on Wednesday for a briefing on the southern border.
“Let’s make a deal?†he tweeted Tuesday, suggesting “Border Security and the Wall ‘thing’ and the Shutdown is not where Nancy Pelosi wanted to start her tenure as Speaker!â€
Politico reported Tuesday that White House officials reached out to the top two Republicans and Democrats in the incoming House and Senate on New Year’s Eve and invited them to the sit-down, which will also include officials from the Department of Homeland Security.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have been invited, along with their deputies, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.).
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who officially becomes the top-ranking House Republican on Thursday, was invited, along with his No. 2, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), as well as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his deputy, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.).
The White House didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
