| Hi! We're from The Independent's US team, including International Editor Chris Stevenson and reporters Clark Mindock and Chris Riotta. We're here to answer all your questions about the government shutdown and what happens next. Ask Us Anything! Posted: 31 Jan 2019 07:26 AM PST Hi! We're from The Independent's US team, including International Editor Chris Stevenson and reporters Clark Mindock and Chris Riotta. Let's talk about the government shutdown.

Will federal workers get paid? And - most importantly - what happens next? Ask us anything you like and let's see if we can get your questions answered.
