Each doubled down on what has been a main sticking point in negotiations: the extension of federal enhanced unemployment benefits that expired Friday.
Pelosi reiterated comments from House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer last week that the $600 price tag on enhanced federal unemployment benefits is not a deal breaker for Democrats.
"The amount of money that is given as an enhancement for unemployment insurance should relate to the rate of unemployment, so as that goes down, you can consider something less than the 600, but in this agreement, it's 600," Pelosi explained.
However, the California Democrat disputed Hoyer's comment that there was "some validity" to the Republicans' argument that the $600 benefit is a disincentive for some Americans to go back to work, arguing that she has statistics to prove that the federal money is keeping people out of poverty.
"The $600 is essential.
She later noted that Democrats are "unified" in their support for the $600 benefit, and claimed that Republicans are in "disarray."
Mnuchin argued that the White House had proposed a one-week unemployment benefit extension of $600 as negotiations continued, but had been rebuffed by Democrats.
Without giving details, the Treasury secretary also said he and Meadows made "three or four" other offers to the Democrats to deal with enhanced unemployment.
Unemployment "should be tied to some percentage of wages, the fact that we had a flat number was only an issue of an emergency," Mnuchin said in an interview on ABC "This Week," but he added: "On the concept, we absolutely agree on enhanced unemployment, we want to fix the issue."
The Treasury secretary on Sunday also highlighted another contentious issue in the talks: additional funding for local and state governments.
"The Democrats right now are insisting on over a trillion dollars to state and local governments that's something that we're not going to do, to bail out those who had financial issues," he said.
