Workers at several federal agencies received an email from their leaders late Tuesday blaming Democrats in Congress for the government shutdown — a clear use of government resources toward political ends by the Trump administration.
“President Trump opposes a government shutdown, and strongly supports the enactment of H.R. 5371, which is a clean Continuing Resolution to fund the government through November 21,” the email stated, according to a copy provided to HuffPost.
“Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the U.S. Senate due to unrelated policy demands.”
The identical email went to employees of at least three agencies: the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Social Security Administration.
