Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows held one of their regular conference calls with Senate Republicans this morning.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate likely won’t come back into session next week — they are coming back after Labor Day (there was some thought of coming back next week to begin working).

Meadows told the senators that his Thursday call with Speaker Nancy Pelosi was a waste of time, and Mnuchin said he doesn’t believe the Speaker is in dealmaking mode.
