Pelosi Seeks Bipartisan Panel On $2 Trillion Relief
  • 4 years ago
House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday she will form a bipartisan select committee on the coronavirus crisis to oversee the spending of $2 trillion that Congress has approved to respond to the pandemic. In a conference call with reporters, Democrat Pelosi also said she believed the administration of Republican President Donald Trump was “more inclined to be supportive” than Senate Republican leaders of her push for infrastructure spending as part of a fourth major bill in response to the coronavirus crisis. Pelosi said she spoke with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Wednesday evening about tax matters, but “they know that I want to go forward” on infrastructure spending.
