Trump Tweets Plans For Saturday Announcement About Shutdown and Wall

President Trump tweeted late Friday that he would make an announcement Saturday afternoon about the ongoing government shutdown and dispute over funding for a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico.

The move comes as the partial government shutdown enters its fifth week with no signs of a resolution.

Some 800,000 federal employees have been going without pay while Trump and Congress have remained at loggerheads over funding for his proposed wall, a central promise of his campaign.
