is only sitting down is with the democratic leader of the senate. i think he clearly wants to talk directly to him to see what needs to happen to potentially overt this looming government shutdown. we know that they have reached across the aisle, struck a deal in the past when it comes to a short term spending measure, can they do that again this time. i just spoke with a senior adviser kellyanne conway about that and i asked her how the president sees his role right now. take a listen to that exchange. the president could not be more clear that he wanting the government to stay open, he wants a two year deal. we need to keep the government going and this is a spending bill. and so theimnu
excellent for example, together, did he say anything like don t tell anyone on ont anything like those lines? stormy said no, he didn t seem worried about it. he was kind of arrogant. it did occur to me that is a stupid move on your part and it is not like i went around and told anybody. into o no within ever really knew. and while melania trump didn t often come up in conversation, trump s daughter ivanka did. daniels said he bragged about his daughter quite a bit. he was very proud of her, which is nice, he told me once that i was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful and smart, just like his daughter. at the same time, a wall street journal investigation suggests that a trump attorney paid for daniels eye excellence silence. the paper citing people familiar with the matter claims michael choen used an llc cohen used an

republicans in the house that helped send the short term funding bill to the senate, but first the latest from you are on team of reporters and we start with garrett haake on capitol hill, jeff bennett is at the white house for us. garrett, any hope on the hill right now that a deal could come from schumer s meeting with the president? reporter: there is definitely some degree of optimism including from senator schumer himself. and also maybe a small degree of concern from republicans who don t have any of their capitol hill leadership or any republican member of congress in this meeting as we all know, the president tends to take some direction in from whoever the last person is he talks to in these situations. so having him one-on-one with chuck schumer in the room could indeed produce a result that inverts a shutdown, but not something that the republicans are excited about. there are a number of different negotiations almost simultaneously. remember there were two working groups
