Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin say they briefed President Trump late Monday night on a forthcoming massive stimulus agreement and predicted they would finalize the deal Tuesday.
"The president would like to have a deal, and he's hopeful we can conclude this tomorrow," Mnuchin told reporters after leaving Schumer's office for the final time early Tuesday morning.
Schumer added that Mnuchin called the president during their meeting and they told him they were "very, very close to an agreement."

"He seemed very happy with that," Schumer said.
Trump knocked Democrats in a tweet minutes after Mnuchin had gone into Schumer’s office for another meeting.
“Republicans had a deal until Nancy Pelosi rode into town from her extended vacation. The Democrats want the Virus to win? They are asking for things that have nothing to do with our great workers or companies,†he tweeted.
