Paul Winfree, a former Trump White House director of budget policy, doubted that the holdup on the economic update was on Trump's radar.

An updated forecast in the mid-session review could make the Trump White House a similar target for criticism. This is a White House that is in denial about the trajectory of the economy.___Associated Press writers Alexandra Jaffe and Emily Swanson in Washington contributed to this report.
