| 0:07.0 | Even as his borders are suggests a potential drawdown in federal agents. |
| 0:11.0 | Also, Trump and Senate Democrats strike a deal to avoid another government shutdown, but will Republicans sign off? |
| 0:18.0 | And new questions about the FBI seizure of 2020 election records in the |
