Watch live: White House press briefing

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is scheduled to brief reporters on Monday afternoon as a government shutdown looms.

Congress is moving toward a shutdown after the Senate voted down a pair of stopgap spending bills, including a “clean” one proposed by the GOP to keep the lights on for seven weeks while appropriators hammer out a longer-term deal.

The briefing also comes as the Trump administration prepares to release a report focused on childhood autism.
