Republicans challenge 'irrelevant' budget office as it critiques Trump's 'beautiful bill'

The CBO’s latest analysis of the gargantuan tax cut and spending package found that the House Republican-authored super bill would add $2.4 trillion to the national deficit over the next decade and boot millions off of health insurance.
