Corker says Senate leaders on verge of deal

In the last half hour.

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said leadership is on the verge of a deal to avert a government shutdown with less an hour to go.

"We're down to a difference of literally three or four days," he said.

Both options being discussed, according to Corker, would keep the government funded past President Trump's State of the Union.

Corker said he expected the agreement could be reached before the midnight deadline to keep the government open.
