Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., had just given a speech calling on President Donald Trump to use his leverage to address high prices — and in an unusual move, he gave her a phone call.
While on the phone, she said, she gave him advice about his recent push to cap credit card rates and lower housing costs. "No more delays. It's time to deliver relief for American families."

"But is he on the phone to say, 'Move that housing bill so that we can start right now?'"
