Mitch McConnell says no deal on DACA legislation

Published



Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pushed back against claims from Sen. Jeff Flake that he had promised to bring a bill to the Senate floor to address the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program deadline if a federal government spending bill got done.
