A first look at Trump's name on the coronavirus stimulus checks

What they're saying: Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that it was his idea to put the president's name on the checks.

• "He is the president, and I think it's a terrific symbol to the American public," Mnuchin said.
• "I'm sure people will be very happy to get a big, fat, beautiful check, and my name is on it," Trump told a White House coronavirus briefing last week.

The big picture: A Treasury spokesperson told USA Today that including Trump's name would not delay delivery of the checks.

• The Washington Post reported that senior IRS officials believed that adding the president's name may have slowed their printing.
