The Week on the Hill

It’s one of the busiest times of the year in Washington, D.C. President Trump has just given his State of the Union address, a congressional panel is closing in on a spending deadline that could trigger another government shutdown and House Democrats are reasserting political power through a series of oversight hearings.

A congressional panel only has until Feb. 15 to reach an agreement on border security issues and the president’s border wall before the possibility of another government shutdown. Lawmakers and President Donald Trump, meanwhile, are preparing for the State of the Union address, and the field of presidential candidates for 2020 keeps growing.
