President Trump expects U.S. Congress to vote soon on criminal justice, farm bills

President Donald Trump on Tuesday told reporters he expects to score two legislative victories before the end of the year, on criminal justice and the major agricultural and food package commonly called the "farm bill."

Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said that it looks like Congress will soon vote on legislation on an overhaul of U.S. prison policies and criminal sentencing standards and that he expects it will pass with bipartisan support. The farm bill, he added, will likely also receive backing from both parties when Congress votes on it, which he anticipates will happen on Friday.
