Lawmakers are expected to pass a short-term budget extension this week amid a flurry of other work, including the ongoing impeachment hearings into President Donald Trump\u2019s handling of foreign aid to Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under a deal passed earlier this fall, the federal budget is set to expire late Thursday. Without a new extension (or a full-year budget, which has been mired in political infighting for months), numerous agencies \u2014 including the Defense Department \u2014 would face a partial shutdown of operations<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

House and Senate members are expected to approve a new budget to push back the deadline one more month, in hopes of reaching a full-year agreement before the Christmas break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, defense lawmakers are hoping for a deal on the annual defense authorization act<\/a> in that same time frame. A conference committee has been negotiating a final draft of that legislation for month, but so far has not found a final compromise. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTuesday, Nov. 19<\/strong>
