EXCLUSIVE: A group of House Republicans on Wednesday urged President Trump to veto an approximately $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill being negotiated in Congress, describing it as an example of "swamp politics" in Washington D.C. But Fox News is told that while the omnibus spending package is in "good" shape, policy issues remain -- which means it may require another interim spending bill to avoid a government shutdown this weekend after the Friday deadline. They also note President Trump’s 2018 remarks in which he said he "would never sign another bill like this again" when he signed an omnibus spending bill. "This bill promises to be even larger, exemplifying everything that is wrong with the swamp politics of Washington, D.C.," the lawmakers said. "Our country will be better off if you veto this omnibus appropriations bill for fiscal year 2021," they told the president.
