He was the one that put 45s name on the checks and thought it a good idea.

And did it take until today to determine who drew the short straw to take the blame?

Some newspaper should submit Freedom Of Information requests for the paperwork related to adding the name to the checks.

Trump's (former) lawyer, Michael Cohen testifying to Congress on how Trump lets people know what he wants done:

“He doesn’t give you questions, he doesn’t give you orders, he speaks in a code."

I have no doubt that Mnuchin knows how to "read" the code.

Nah.

“After privately suggesting to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin that he be allowed to formally sign the checks, Trump settled for having his name printed in the memo section, according to administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.”
