House Freedom Caucus discusses spending package: Watch live

The House Freedom Caucus on Friday morning is slated to hold a press briefing to discuss the newly unveiled $1.2 trillion funding deal.

Congressional leaders rolled out a sprawling package funding most parts of the government for the rest of the fiscal year after last-minute drama over Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding threatened efforts to avert a shutdown just days before the deadline.

Freedom Caucus members have slammed the bill, criticizing the late-night release by congressional leaders, the inclusion of various funding priorities — including dollars for the FBI headquarters — and the exclusion of some of their conservative policy riders, especially those related to the border.

The event is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. EDT.
