Millions of americans, their paychecks, and the government as a whole, now two days away from a potential shutdown. Rachel scott leading us off on the hill tonight. Reporter tonight, with millions of americans, including military families and Border Patrol officers, in danger of losing their paychecks if the government shuts down in just two days, House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy struggling to make a deal with hard right republicans. Mccarthy saying if those renegade republicans support a shortterm bill to fund the government, hell add stepped up measures to police the border. But tonight, those holdouts unmoved. Do you believe mccarthy has the votes if he puts that cr on the floor tomorrow . No, he doesnt. Reporter it will fail . Yeah. Reporter behind the scenes, negotiations within the gop growing heated. Theres still some republicans who say theyre not going to vote for any shortterm deal. Did you ask them why . Why would they side with biden on an open border, when we have an opportunity to do something about the border . Are they doing it for that reason . Doing it for personal reasons . Doing it for chaos . Reporter tonight, the department of Homeland Security warning a shutdown would force some 20,000 Border Patrol officers to work without pay. Federal money that helps local communities cope with the surge of migrants would dry up. Local officials, like the mayor of laredo, texas, warning an already dangerous situation would get even worse. If the shutdown happens by this friday, ill have to issue a declaration of emergency for our city. We cant have lack of security for our border. Reporter for a second day in a row, Senate Minority leader Mitch Mcconnell rebuking his fellow republicans in the house. Shutting down the government is a choice. And its a choice that would make the crisis at our southern border even worse. Reporter senate democrats, meanwhile, flatout refusing to go along with mccarthys plan. If we need to put on the table some Border Security measures, we should take the next two months to figure out exactly what that is, rather than throwing something together in an afternoon and jamming it into this bill. Reporter so, tonight, Speaker Mccarthy in a box. The clock ticking. His own members turning against him. Is that a failure of leadership, the fact that republicans didnt start this process sooner, were now down to the wire here . Yes. Reporter and were still going through this . Yes. It is a failure of leadership. Reporter today, the david rachel, of course, all eyes on House Republicans. What is House Speaker Kevin Mccarthys next move here . Reporter david, just moments ago, Speaker Mccarthy says he still does plan to bring his own bill to the floor for a vote tomorrow. This would temporarily fund the government and add in border provisions, but he does not have enough support within his own party to pass. And democrats in the senate say his lastminute demands for Border Security are coming too late in the game. Bottom line, all signs are pointing towards a shutdown. David . David millions of families will be affected by this. Rachel scott, thank you. Meanwhile, as millions brace for a shutdown, and what this could mean for their pay, House Republicans moving forward on something else. The Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden. There was a major headline today the republicanled committees own witnesses testifying that there is no evidence right now that President Biden committed a crime. Democrats tonight calling this, quote, a complete waste of time, with the government on the verge of a shutdown. Terry mour ran in the hearing room. The committee on oversight and accountability will come to order. Reporter today, the republicans made it official, holding their first hearing on whether to impeach President Biden, looking to uncover whether he accepted bribes or abused his office in connection with his son hunters overseas business dealings. This is a tale as old as time. Politician takes action that makes money for his family, and then he tries to conceal it. Reporter but from the start, the republicans faced a problem, despite months of investigations, they have no concrete evidence of any wrongdoing by the president. Even their own witnesses testified there is no proof of misconduct on the part of the president. I do not believe that the Current Evidence would support articles of impeachment. That is something that an inquiry has to establish. But i also do believe that the house has passed the threshold for an Impeachment Inquiry. Reporter and democrats immediately poupsed this is an embarrassment. Reporter denouncing the proceedings as a sham, an embarrassment, and a complete waste of time with the government on the verge of a shutdown. If the republicans had a smoking gun, or even a dripping water pistol, they would be presenting it today. But theyve got nothing on joe biden. Reporter the democrats Witness Offering this analogy, accusing republicans of trying to use the alleged crimes of hunter biden to go after his father. Hunter biden is arrested for speeding in a car owned by his father, and the police go after the father. I dont think thats how the law should work. I dont think thats how impeachment should work. Reporter david, with two of the three witnesses republicans called saying they did not see enough evidence to justify an impeachment, one saying he didnt see enough evidence to justify any wrongdoing, democrats fired back. One of them saying the problem with slinging mud is, you have to have some mud. David . David Terry Mour Ran live on the hill tonight. Terry, thank you.

But the former president could now face penalties up to 250 million, and the possibility of losing control of some of his most Famous Properties in new york, including 40 wall street, and his namesake, trump tower.
