Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin refuted a report that said it would take up to 20 weeks for some Americans to get their stimulus checks, saying it would weeks and not months. 'I have previously said that it will take three weeks, I am pleased to report within two weeks, the first payments will be direct deposited into taxpayers accounts,' Mnuchin said Thursday at the daily White House coronavirus briefing. But a report from House Democrats found most people won't see their payments from coronavirus stimulus bill until April 13 and, for some, it could take up to 20 weeks to get a check. Mnuchin shot that down when asked about it. 'I don't know where you're hearing these things,' he told the reporter who quizzed him on it. 'I told you this would be three weeks. I am now committing to two weeks. We are delivering on our commitments. The IRS that I oversee within two weeks, the money will be in people's accounts.'

Police in California took a wipe out of crime Tuesday after pulling over a stolen SUV and finding 192 rolls of toilet paper — a sought-after commodity as people hoard supplies amid the coronavirus pandemic. Beverly Hills police posted a photo of officers searching the white SUV on social media. Two boxes stuffed with rolls of toilet paper are pictured outside the vehicle. “Gives ‘They saw me rollin’...’ a whole new meaning,” the department wrote on Twitter. Police arrested the driver. It was unclear whether the toilet paper was also stolen. “The driver was arrested for several charges -- unrelated to the toilet paper,” Beverly Hills Police Lt. Elizabeth Albanese told the Los Angeles Times. Officers also recovered a gun while searching the vehicle, the department wrote in a reply on Instagram. It was unclear whether the driver had a gun permit.

Some quarantined deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department may go unpaid as the sheriff and county chief executive feud over payments to those ordered to stay home last month over coronavirus concerns. The spat emerged during the countrywide outbreak of COVID-19 and just days after the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors removed Sheriff Alex Villanueva as head of the county's emergency operations center and replaced him with LA County CEO Sachi Hamai. Villanueva told Fox 11 on Thursday that officers quarantined after April 1 will receive new emergency benefits and said the county CEO would not pay out similar benefits to officers quarantined last month. ”County leaders decided to follow new federal guidelines that took effect today, which state from April 1 forward, employees get 80 hours of paid sick leave if quarantined,” he told the outlet.
