WASHINGTON (AP) - Pushing the government to the brink of a partial shutdown, the White House is insisting that Congress provide $5 billion to build a border wall despite lawmaker resistance from both parties.
 Â
White House senior adviser Stephen Miller told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday that President Donald Trump is holding to his position of doing whatever it takes to build a wall, even if it means a shutdown.
 Â
Trump said last week he would be "proud" to have a shutdown to get Congress to approve a $5 billion down payment to fulfill his campaign promise. But the president doesn't have the votes from the Republican-controlled Congress to support funding for the wall at that level.
 Â
Without a resolution, parts of the federal government will close at midnight Friday.
