Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump plans to sign a compromise border security measure in conjunction with declaring a national emergency to secure funding for a border wall, according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Speaking on the Senate floor Thursday, McConnell sought to reassure lawmakers unsure of the President's position before taking a vote on the plan, which falls short of providing the $5 billion in border wall funding Trump had demanded. It wasn't immediately clear which path Trump would choose to secure border wall funding through a national emergency declaration. The President tweeted midday he was "reviewing the funding bill with my team." Other Republicans said they were hoping for assurances Trump will sign the bill if it gets to his desk, possibly later on Thursday.
