Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) on Tuesday blasted the Trump administration for failing to properly implement the four coronavirus relief packages passed by Congress, saying he would call on the Senate to begin oversight hearings next week.
“This administration has been an abject failure at implementing most of these laws,†Schumer said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe†on Tuesday, asserting the administration doesn’t have the necessary qualified personnel and focus.
“All too often it seems the president’s ego is at stake,†he added.
Schumer announced that he and other Senate Democrats will send a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) demanding Senate oversight hearings for the first four coronavirus relief bills passed by Congress, including the $2.2 trillion CARES Act.
