U.S. Republicans underscored the need for tax cuts and business liability protections in any new coronavirus legislation on Tuesday, while blocking a Democratic attempt to require transparency for a $650 billion-plus program for struggling small businesses.

Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell underscored his demand that any new bill protect businesses from coronavirus-related lawsuits, but told reporters that Republicans are working on a “narrowly crafted” measure that would not protect companies guilty of “gross negligence.” The Democratic-led House of Representatives remained in recess this week to avoid possible health risks posed by the novel coronavirus. House majority leader Steny Hoyer told reporters on Tuesday that he would not call the House back until another coronavirus relief bill is ready, possibly next week.

Senators held a morning confirmation hearing for U.S. Representative John Ratcliffe, Trump’s nominee for national intelligence director.
