Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says that President Trump is seriously considering a second round of checks.
Mnuchin confirmed the possibility in an online conference with reporters. He says that advisers have brought the suggestion to the president and he is considering it.
No word on whether there will be $1,200 checks or whether they would be more or less.
