Trump Pushes Senate Tax Bill
- 6 years ago
President Donald Trump is urging passing of the new tax bill.
Trump summoned Senate Republican tax-writers to the White House on Monday to discuss the bill.
Congressional fiscal analysts say the bill would balloon the federal deficit by $1.4 trillion over a decade.
The Senate could vote on the bill as soon as Thursday.
Overhauling the tax code is seen by Republicans as their last chance to score a significant legislative achievement in 2017.
