Donald Trump may shutdown the Government to prolong his impeachment

Donald Trump may shutdown the Government to prolong his impeachment The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate said Tuesday he’s worried that President Donald Trump will shut down the federal government in an effort to impede the impeachment process.
I’m increasingly worried that President Trump will want to shut down the government again because of impeachment. He always likes to create diversions. I hope and pray he won’t want to cause another government shutdown because it might be a diversion away from impeachment.”
Sen. Chuck Schumer
The government is funded through Nov. 21, and Congress needs to pass 12 appropriations bills or a short-term extension bill by then to avoid a shutdown.
Last December, the government shut down for a record 35 days after Trump refused to sign an appropriations bill because it did not include funding for a border wall.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the shutdown cost the U.S. economy $11 billion, shrinking real GDP in the first quarter by 0.2%.
