“Ready and willing to bypass elected lawmakers, President Trump seemed set to claim the power to defer payroll taxes and extend expired unemployment benefits after negotiations with Congress on a new coronavirus rescue package collapsed,” the AP reports.
Washington Post: “One of the executive orders would aim to restore some unemployment aid for millions of Americans whose enhanced benefits expired last month. Two of the other executive orders would relate to eviction protections and student loan relief. And the fourth executive order would seek to defer payroll tax payments from July – retroactively – through December.”
