TRUMP SAYS DEMOCRATS' MAIL-IN BALLOT PUSH HOLDING UP CORONAVIRUS FUNDING"It's their fault," Trump told FOX Business’ “Mornings with Maria.” "They want $3.5 billion for something that's fraudulent ... for the mail-in votes, universal mail-in ballots. “They want $1 trillion to go to their friends doing a bad job running certain cities and states,” the president said.

Trump took relief matters into his own hands last Friday, announcing an executive order including various elements of relief under negotiation.
