Democrats and Republicans in Congress work to find middle ground on government funding bill

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have until midnight Friday to either pass next year's spending bill or a brief extension if they want to avoid a government shutdown. CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane explains what Democrats and Republicans are fighting over, and what happens if they can't agree by the deadline as well as the latest on the Jan. 6 committee and plans to release its findings.
