he sent them to capitol hill on his behalf yesterday to work through these negotiations and it does appear that they've made some progress, enough to get over the first hurdle and to keep the doors of negotiation open between the democrats and republicans. but there is still so much lack of clarity this morning about whether or not president trump will sign off on an agreement made between democrats and republicans. the signals we were getting from people close to the negotiations involving vice president mike pence said that president trump might not be particularly happy with $1.6 billion. if that's the case, as suzanne just reported, negotiators are probably going to have to go back to the drawing board. i think everybody here is waiting to see when president trump will weigh in, will he send clear signals about his willingness to sign off on a bill. in the meantime, he has been here at the white house filming a video yesterday that the white house released that's all about reframing the conversation around the shutdown, reframing who is to blame for the shutdown
