After 15 failed votes and 41 days, the Senate has voted to end the government shutdown. The House of Representatives still needs to pass the measure and President Trump needs to sign it, but the federal government could open within days. as NPR's Sam Greenglass reports.
The Senate passed a stopgap funding bill lasting through January 30th after a more than month-long impasse that resulted in missed paychecks for federal workers, delayed food assistance, and air travel disruptions. The package includes a trio of regular appropriations bills funding some parts of the government through next September, as well as language to reverse the shutdown firings of federal employees and ensure that federal workers get back pay. But the deal does not include an extension of expiring subsidies for health insurance premiums. Democrats have been promised a Senate vote on legislation to address the health care subsidies, but that does not guarantee it'll pass or get a vote in the House.

Lawyers for both players deny the accusation and say they're innocent.
