BREAKING: Drudge Report: Shutdown Agreement Reached

The influential conservative website, the Drudge Report, is reporting that a shutdown argument has been reached to reopen the government temporarily and that it will be announced at 1 p.m. on Friday.

“SOURCE: SHUTDOWN AGREEMENT REACHED ANNOUNCEMENT SET FOR 1 PM GOVT TO REOPEN ‘TEMPORARILY,” the banner of the Drudge Report reads.

Reporters have been tweeting about a Rose Garden announcement, but appear to not have details about the nature of the announcement:

About 15 mins ago, saw staff setting up for a Rose Garden announcement. Speakers, stanchions and rope.

I'm told POTUS will make his announcement at 1pm in the Rose Garden re the government shutdown. I haven't found anyone in the WH or on the Hill who knows what's about to happen.
