the death of this isis leader does not mean the death of isis. scores of isis fighters remain under certain conditions in syrian prisons and countless others in the region and world spread their influence. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell released this statement, this victory for the u.s. and our counterterrorism partners is a significant step for the campaign against isis for the future of the middle east and for the safety of the american people and free people around the world. is the chief congressional correspondent of the washington examiner, looking at the week ahead in congress, we have the house considering -- can you tell us more about the congressional response to the recent military action after the president announced his decision to withdraw soups -- troops from syria.

susan: the house will take up legislation that will sanction turkey and the senate would also take it up and it is possible they will. it is being slowed down in the senate or paused in the senate because the republicans who run the chamber want to give the cease-fire a chance. they want to give the president a chance to try to seal the deal they worked out here is going to be successful. they are having sanctions as plan b. the house will pass it. they are working in conjunction with senate republicans who are not opposed what the house is doing. they just want to give the president a chance and i think i recall the president saying last ork that if the sanctions cease-fire is not successful, he could reimpose sanctions that he had placed from the executive branch.

congress will take them up in the house and the senate is in a ift and see mode to see things do in fact stabilize in the region and that the kurds are protected and the isis terrorists who are imprisoned at their that way. if things start to fall apart, then i think you might see the senate pressured to act and more willing to act on the house bill that we are likely to see move next week. -- >> we seeers lawmakers continue to work. were her from the senate appropriate and committee chairman that another short-term spending bill to keep the government running will likely be needed. what are some of the key hurdles that house and senate members have to clear? susan: at this point, congress has agreed republicans and

democrats, on a top plan -- top line spending that would lift spending caps for the next two years. they settled on that. it is several weeks old. they have an agreement. the problem is -- how do you divide up the money? there are 12 federal spending bills that make up all government spending. democrats and republicans do not agree on how that pie is divided up. haveis point, republicans allocated to much, according to democrats, two areas of the government they don't support, including money that would be for on the southern border a structure or a border wall. they want the money changed in a way that is provided for other good services and not a wall. that is one of the problems. there is also disagreement over language that is not about money

more about how the government fairsses funding and tax -- taxpayer abortion funding but the main problem is how it is divided amongst the 12 spending bills. democrats want a deal on that before they moved to the house. i think we are getting the picture now that the house democrats are not really willing to work with senate republicans and those in both majorities until they get the deal. we are closing in on the november 21 deadline. it is looking like they will end up doing what is called a stopgap bill which funds the government at current levels. the question is -- how long would that last for, several months, several weeks? i am here different poses. some say until the spring and others say for a few weeks.

we will be hearing more about that soon because we are going to be getting into november and they are running out of time. thanksgiving will come and they will go for another break and they will want to have something settled. it looks like they want to finish the 2020 spending bills but will instead do the sort of temporary funding at 2019 levels. we still have the house impeachment inquiry. protracted impeachment fight with more definite -- depositions continuing to oppose the inquiry process to legislation. interrupting the closed doors interviews, what are the next steps we can expect in the impeachment inquiry into president trump? susan: i expect more closed door depositions and more fighting with the depositions.

the impeachment process in the house is run by democrats. the republicans, as would be toected, not fully expect agree and they are trying to block people from testifying and not supplying documents. today, they subpoenaed -- house subpoenaed remark from administration officials, two of them from the office of management. i do not expect that to show up. under subpoena, they will defy that subpoena and not show up. you will see more of the back and forth over witnesses and documents and you will also see more people coming in and testifying who are willing to participate. eventually, i believe that the house democrats will schedule public hearings. those have not been scheduled or

even discussed. i will also expect you will see some transcripts from the closed door depositions released. finally, i anticipate at some point this year that the house democrats will raise articles of impeachment on the house floor and call for a vote on that. if that does pass the house, you would see a senate trial heaven pretty soon after -- happen pretty soon after. depends on humming articles are passed. that is how things are most likely to proceed. the question is when they will raise the articles of impeachment and when they will hold the public hearings that have been anticipated. we don't have an answer to that. we know they expect do so at some point. and we know that they would hope to finish this up weekly, but was still not have any set timeline and things could drag
