Donald Trump Already Backtracking on Key Dem Shutdown Concession [View all]

The GOP’s majority whip has revealed a crucial omission from the Democrats’ deal.

The Trump administration has already flipped on one key Democrat request for ending the government shutdown.

Seven rogue Democrats and one Independent sided with Republicans in a Senate vote this week to pass a compromise deal to reopen the government, which has been shut since October 1.

The House of Representatives approved the bill on Wednesday night, which is now awaiting President Trump’s sign-off. However, one critical component is set to be missing.

The deal struck with the Democrats included extending government funding through January 30 next year, as well as stopping the Trump administration’s mass firings of federal workers and guaranteeing back pay for staff who worked through the shutdown.

It also stated that thousands of federal staff terminated during the shutdown would get their jobs back.

In a new interview conducted on Wednesday before the House approved the bill, a key GOP player admitted the job cuts will not be reversed.
