THE LEAD STORY – TRUMP, DEMS LOOK TO PLAY LET'S MAKE A DEAL: President Trump will meet with Democratic congressional leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday as both sides look to avoid a partial government shutdown before a Dec. 21 deadline ... There are several items on the to-do list for Democrats and Republicans: A major farm bill; a formal rebuke of Saudi Arabia for the killing of activist Jamal Khashoggi; emergency funding for the deadly wildfires in California; a Republican-sponsored bill to extend expiring tax breaks and delay some health-care taxes; a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill; a bill to protect special counsel Robert Mueller; a plan to overhaul the system for handling sexual harassment complaints on Capitol Hill. However, Trump's long-promised border wall will be the biggest obstacle. The president wants the next funding package to include at least $5 billion for the wall with Mexico, a proposal Democrats have rejected.
