Trump and congressional leaders set third meeting over shutdown

Trump is slated to meet with congressional leadership at the White House on Wednesday to continue discussions on reopening the government, GOP sources told The Hill on Tuesday.

The meeting will take place one day after a national address Trump is giving Tuesday night making his case for border wall funding.
Lawmakers are expected to gather with administration officials in the Situation Room as parties remain at an impasse over funding for Trump's desired border wall, two leadership aides confirmed. Democratic sources have not confirmed attendance, but top Republicans said Democratic leaders have agreed to attend the meeting.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's (D-Md.) offices did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.

"Another meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow at 3 pm in the Situation Room. Sen. Durbin plans to attend," a source told The Hill.

Prior to that, the White House said Trump and Vice President Pence would huddle with the Senate GOP at their policy lunch on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
