Senators worked through the weekend, and for the first time in weeks, there may be light at the end of the shutdown tunnel. Lawmakers appear to have struck a preliminary deal featuring a “minibus” package: three full-year spending bills to fund key departments through next fall, plus a short-term measure to keep the rest of the government running through January. Is this the breakthrough Washington’s been waiting for or just another bump in the road? Yasmin Vossoughian breaks it down with NBC News chief Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles, who was really hoping for a quiet weekend. And another gambling scandal is rocking pro sports, this time in Major League Baseball. Federal prosecutors have charged Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Leandro Ortiz with rigging their own games by intentionally throwing balls instead of strikes. At the same time, prosecutors say co-conspirators bet on their performance, netting about $450,000 over two years. The case, brought by the office behind last month’s NBA betting indictments, charges the pair with conspiracy, fraud and bribery. Lawyers for both players denied the charges. Sports betting reporter and author Danny Funt joins the pod.
