of the government shutdown he's boxed himself into.

For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

[ Suspenseful theme plays ] [ Cheering and applause ]

The shutdown is having real effects for millions of people

and that includes law enforcement officials

Trump's pick for attorney general, William Barr,

was asked about the effect on law enforcement

and said the shutdown was the fault of both sides.

- People would like to see the shutdown ended

and that's why people wanna see some kind of compromise

and, you know, you call it the Trump shutdown,

he moves his hands, he's doing some off-brand version

I mean, look at 'im. He looks like a grandpa at a wedding.

We all remember the meeting in the Oval Office

Trump actually thinks he's winning the argument.

CNN reported yesterday that Trump has been

telling aides and allies that he believes
