WASHINGTON President Trump on Tuesday night asked Congress to amend the nearly $900 billion stimulus and spending bill passed by the Senate just one day before, describing the legislation as “a disgrace” and suggesting he would not immediately sign off on aid for millions of Americans.
In a video posted to Twitter, Trump called on Congress to increase the “ridiculously low” $600 stimulus checks to $2,000 and outlined a list of provisions in the final legislation that he described as “wasteful spending and much more.” He did not mention that the $600 stimulus check idea came from his treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Monday he will insist that any COVID-19 relief next year include protections against coronavirus-related lawsuits. I think liability relief is really important, McConnell said during an interview with Dana Perino on Fox News. And if there is another coronavirus relief bill after the first of the year, I m going to insist that liability protection for these universities and health care providers is a part of it.
McConnell s decision to draw a red line on what he will push to include in a potential 2021 deal under the Biden administration comes after he agreed to drop the same demand in order to cut a $900 billion year-end deal that Congress is slated to vote on early this week.
