(CNN) President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he is asking for changes to the coronavirus relief bill passed by Congress, leaving the future of the $900 billion stimulus in doubt. Following months of grueling negotiations, Congress had voted Monday evening to approve the far-reaching $900 billion Covid relief package aimed at delivering layers of financial support to Americans affected by the pandemic. In fact, throughout his video message, Trump railed against several provisions that were actually part of the omnibus spending bill, not the Covid relief bill. "It is called the Covid relief bill, but it has almost nothing to do with Covid," the President said at one point. Like many of his own aides, Republicans on Capitol Hill were not given a heads up that Trump was going to rail against the stimulus bill.
