The most compelling source is a live news report from CBS News which explicitly states that the White House announced the bill to end the government shutdown was signed at 9:23 p.m. on January 25. This provides a specific time for the action on the night in question, directly confirming the statement.This is corroborated by other high-authority primary sources. Live blogs from both NBC News and CBS News provided up-to-the-minute coverage of the bill's successful passage through the House and its journey to the President for his signature on the same day, establishing a clear and consistent timeline of events. Further context is provided by a press release from a Senator's office which confirms the shutdown's end date was indeed January 25, 2019. The official Congressional Record is also cited as the ultimate source for verifying such legislative action.There is no conflicting evidence among the relevant, credible sources. Several of the provided sources were deemed irrelevant as they were outdated (referencing events from days or weeks prior) or off-topic, and therefore do not detract from the consistent narrative presented by the primary news reports covering the event as it happened.
