President Donald Trump’s name will appear on checks sent to millions of Americans to combat the economic effects of the coronavirus in a last-minute Treasury Department order, a senior administration official confirmed to CNN on Tuesday. The decision to add Trump's name will not result in a delay for Americans receiving those checks, the senior administration official said. Many others are receiving the payments through direct deposit, if they have their bank information on file with the Treasury Department. The president, however, is not authorized to sign Treasury payments -- a practice typically held by a government employee to protect the checks from politicization. The plan for Trump's name to appear on the checks had been underway for weeks, a Treasury official told the Post.
