Congress must approve Trump's $5,000 checks, says Speaker Johnson

In a recent CNN interview, Speaker Mike Johnson stated that President Trump's proposal for $5,000 checks to every American adult would require congressional approval. Johnson described the idea as creative and linked it to the need for Republican control in Congress. He defended the proposal against Democratic criticism, asserting that similar financial measures had been supported by Democrats in the past. Trump's confidence in the proposal's success was also noted during his remarks in Ireland.
