House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin spoke for an hour on a possible COVID-19 stimulus deal, but haven’t come to an agreement, according to Pelosi’s spokesperson.

“The two discussed the justifications for various numbers and plan to exchange paper today in preparation for another phone call tomorrow,” Pelosi’s spokesman Drew Hammill wrote on Twitter on Oct. 5, adding that the two “spoke by phone today at 11:30 a.m. for approximately 1 hour.”
