Trump: furloughed federal workers may not get back pay

President Trump says back pay for furloughed federal workers may not be guaranteed. In 2019, President Trump signed legislation into law that ensures federal workers receive back pay during a government shutdown. But this week, he said there’s no guarantee that’ll happen this time. The president told reporters that he wants to take “care of our people,” but added that “there are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of.”
