White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is unwilling to compromise on key issues in a stimulus package in the latest back-and-forth about who’s responsible for the impasse.
“Somehow, I guess it’s a mystery, that letter got to Politico before it got to the secretary. Our team now believes that the Speaker has no intention of compromising on key issues,” Kudlow told Fox News on Oct. 29, criticizing Pelosi for a letter that was sent to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and suggesting it was leaked to the press before it was sent to Mnuchin.
