Partial government shutdown likely to be delayed because of George H.W. Bush's death

President Trump is open to pushing back a potential shutdown of some government operations by at least a week, in part because of the death of former President George H. W. Bush.

Funding for some parts of the federal government is set to expire at midnight Dec. 7 — a deadline created months ago that now would fall at the end of a week when Washington will be focused on national tributes to the late president and services in Washington and Texas.
