Senator: Immigration calls crashed Capitol phone system


During a speech on the Senate floor, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., just said the phone system on Capitol Hill crashed because of all the calls they're receiving about the immigration bill.

USA TODAY's Kathy Kiely is on the case. We'll have more details in a few minutes.

Update at 10:34 a.m. ET: We're having trouble confirming this report because we keep getting a busy signal when we call the switchboard and other offices at the Capitol.

Update at 11:40 a.m. ET: The bill died in the Senate.
