Trump invites Dems to meet amid shutdown

President Trump is holding two major meetings as the partial government shutdown continues. He'll be huddling with his Cabinet and has invited congressional leaders to meet at the White House. CBS News correspondent Chip Reid reports Democrats are skeptical as to whether the meeting is a serious effort at negotiation. Also, CBS News political correspondent Ed O'Keefe discusses what Democrats will propose once they officially take control of the House of Representatives.

Sanders: Trump "willing to negotiate" on wall

The partial government shutdown is now expected to run into next week, with no votes scheduled to end it. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement that budget negotiators are "still very far apart" and President Trump insists he won't let the government reopen until Democrats agree to spend billions of dollars for a border wall. The standoff could keep roughly 800,000 federal workers from receiving paychecks into the New Year. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders joins “CBS This Morning” from Washington to discuss where negotiations stand between Republicans and Democrats and the second death this month of a second migrant child in U.S. custody.

Government shutdown deadline looms

A partial government shutdown could begin Friday, December 2 at midnight if Congress and the Trump administration cannot come to a deal on funding. President Trump is seeking $5 billion for a border wall, but Democrats object. Meanwhile, a federal judge has ruled the Affordable Care Act to be unconstitutional, but the law remains in effect, and Democrats plan to challenge the ruling. CBS News Washington correspondent Paula Reid has the latest details.
