WASHINGTON _ Angry House conservatives have mounted a fierce _ and as of Thursday afternoon, successful _ crusade to prod President Donald Trump to veto a year-end government funding bill that lacks big money for a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Trump said he will not sign a Senate-passed bill, setting up the possibility of a partial government shutdown, outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan said after a meeting with several House Republicans at the White House on Thursday.
"The president has informed us that he will not sign the bill that came over from the Senate last evening because of his legitimate concerns about border security," Ryan told reporters in front of the White House.
