Live updates: Senate averts government shutdown; Trump lays out plan for DOJ

The Senate on Friday voted to avert a government shutdown, just hours before the midnight deadline.
The stopgap funding bill bill, which narrowly passed the House earlier this week, triggered a fierce battle within the Senate Democratic caucus over how to handle the package, which was crafted without any Democratic input in the House.
In the end, 10 Democrats helped Republicans defeat the Senate filibuster, teeing up the final vote.
President Trump on Friday afternoon gave remarks at the Justice Department. His topics ranged from praise for Aileen Cannon, the federal judge who dismissed the Mar-a-Lago documents case against him, to mainstream media.
