President Donald Trump excoriated the Justice Department prosecutors who investigated him and vowed to use it to target his own enemies in a campaign-style speech at the department’s historic Great Hall on Friday.

The Senate passed a stopgap government funding bill on Friday – hours before a partial shutdown of federal agencies was set to take effect Friday at midnight.
A handful of Senate Democrats joined with Republicans to advance the House-passed GOP plan to keep the government funded through September, which cleared the upper chamber’s filibuster in a 62-38 vote, with 10 Democrats voting to advance the measure.
Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Gary Peters of Michigan, Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Chuck Schumer of New York joined independent Sen. Angus King of Maine and every Republican except Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky to move the bill forward.
