House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said President Donald Trump should call on GOP members of Congress to “immediately” stop an “obstruction” to the $2,000 stimulus payments he sought.

Pelosi was reacting to Trump’s signing of the $900 billion stimulus package that was tied to a larger omnibus bill. The package authorized direct payments and checks for up to $600.
