WASHINGTON — President Trump on Tuesday night threatened to derail months of bipartisan work in Congress to ship $900 billion in coronavirus aid to a rustic battered by the pandemic, demanding sweeping adjustments and cuts to a invoice he known as a “shame.”

The president, who has been preoccupied with the baseless declare that the election was stolen from him, seized on congressional leaders’ choice to move the aid invoice by combining it with a broader spending plan to fund authorities operations and the army, portraying the opposite spending gadgets as “wasteful and pointless.”

“It’s known as the Covid aid invoice, but it surely has virtually nothing to do with Covid,” Mr. Trump stated in a video posted on Twitter.
