Trump's Emergency Declaration, Democrats' Gun Bills

President Donald Trump signed an agreement on Friday to keep the government open while issuing an emergency declaration to reprogram funding for a border wall. On this episode of Bloomberg Government's "Suspending the Rules," homeland security reporter Michaela Ross and legislative analyst Michael Smallberg break down the spending deal and Trump's emergency maneuver. House Democrats plan to take up two bills after the Presidents Day recess to close what they describe as loopholes in the nation's gun buyer background check system. In the second segment, legislative analyst Adam M. Taylor dives into both bills and the changes they'd make. Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg L.P., which operates Bloomberg Government, serves as a member of Everytown for Gun Safety’s advisory board and is a donor to the group. Everytown for Gun Safety advocates for universal background checks and other gun control measures. Hosts: Danielle Parnass, Adam M. Taylor, Michael Smallberg.Engineer: Nico Anzalotta.
