Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Monday that a deal between Democrats and Republicans was “very close” to being hammered out on the COVID-19 economic stimulus package.

“I think we’re very close. We need to get this deal done today,” Mnuchin told CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Monday, March 23, adding that while existing funds had already been deployed to soften the blow of the CCP virus, “we need Congress to approve additional funds today.”
