Congressional leaders 'finalizing' $1.2 trillion spending deal

A deal has been largely negotiated on a $1.2 trillion fiscal 2018 spending package that would include President Trump’s request for border security funding, exclude Obamacare funding, and does not address so-called “Dreamers” who are living in the United States under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

“We are finalizing it and we hope to post soon,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said after a leadership meeting early Wednesday. “We’re in a good place.”
