Donald Trump spoke for 40 minutes with three leading senators today about expanding background checks, keeping alive the Senate’s long-running gun negotiations with the White House for at least one more day
about expanding background checks, keeping alive the Senate’s long-running gun negotiations with the White House for at least one more day.
“We’re getting to the witching hour and we’ll know soon within the next day or two about whether the White House is willing to put a substantive background checks bill on the table,” Murphy said. Sen. Mike Braun , one of the new senators whom Toomey is courting, said Wednesday he’s willing to advocate to Trump for tighter background checks and red flags and “anything that’s not going to impact a law-abiding citizen.”Sign Up
The confusion over the timeline only further muddled what’s been a wide-ranging debate but one that has yet to make any concrete progress. Trump met with the top GOP congressional leaders at the White House on Tuesday afternoon, but although firearm legislation was discussed, neither firm policy nor rollout dates were decided upon.
“We all agree people in those categories should not have firearms. This is a commonsense way to make it much more difficult for those folks to get it. That’s the case that I made to the president,” Toomey said of the conversation. Officials from the Justice Department were also on the call, senators said.
