Trump Explodes At Pelosi After White House Meeting: “I Don’t Do Cover-Ups!”

President Donald Trump has had a turbulent relationship with Democratic figureheads House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, but they had recently come together to work on an infrastructure deal. Now, any bipartisan effort between the parties seems to have broken down on Wednesday, when Trump unloaded on Pelosi in an explosive public feud.

Their altercation comes after a Wednesday meeting in the White House, where Trump decided he would not work with Democrats while they’re investigating him. Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) was present for the meeting, describing it as “high drama in the Cabinet room.”  After Trump made those attending the meeting wait for him, he complained about their investigations into him and stormed out, all of which transpired within minutes.

Speaking of the meeting, Pelosi was critical of Trump’s conduct. “It wasn’t really respectful of the Congress and the White House working together,” she said at a news conference later in the day. “He just took a pass. I pray for the president of the United States, and I pray for the United States of America.” Speaking with her fellow Democrats in private, Pelosi tweeted her belief Trump “is engaged in a cover-up,” a claim that would later infuriate him.
