Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer secured an agreement in the
$2 trillion federal coronavirus stimulus package that would bar businesses owned by President Donald Trump, his family, top US officials, and members of Congress from receiving money from the fund.
An aide to Schumer
told Reuters that under the proviso, businesses owned by Vice President Mike Pence and heads of executive-branch departments
would also be barred from receiving loans or investments under the Treasury Department programs.
The Senate and the White House early on Wednesday agreed on the massive stimulus package to help American workers and businesses mitigate the devastating economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak.
