The members of Congress who got paid during the government shutdown

Nearly 4 in 10 members of the U.S. House of Representatives did not take their pay during the government shutdown, according to an ABC News survey of congressional offices.

That group included the leaders of both parties in the House, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., whose offices confirmed to ABC News that they asked for the pay to be withheld for the duration of the shutdown.
