The House and Senate have released the $1.3 trillion spending bill to fund the federal government for the rest of the fiscal year. It includes increases for defense, homeland security, plus funding for infrastructure and opioid abuse treatment.
Key highlights:
What’s next: It's immediately unclear when both chambers will vote on the bill. But it must be passed by the end of Friday to keep the government open through the end of September. The White House signaled earlier Wednesday President Trump backs the package after speaking with House Speaker Ryan and Senate Majority Leader McConnell.
