The Latest: Pelosi says no reply from Trump about speech
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the partial government shutdown (all times local):
11:50 a.m.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (puh-LOH'-see) isn't saying what she'll do if President Donald Trump insists on delivering a State of the Union address during the partial government shutdown.
The California Democrat said Thursday she's received no response to her letter suggesting Trump postpone the address while thousands of federal workers are unpaid. Asked whether she'd allow the speech to go forward Jan. 29 if Trump insists on delivering it, Pelosi replied, "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
Pelosi says the federal employees required to secure the event in the House of Representatives should be paid for the work.
