Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday accused President Trump of being “engaged in a cover-up” following a special meeting of House Democrats focused on ongoing congressional investigations into the Trump administration.
“We do believe that it is important to follow the facts, we believe that no one is above the law, including the president of the United States, and we believe the president of the United States is engaged in a cover-up, in a cover-up,” Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill.
Her broadside came just moments before she, Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and other Democrats headed to the White House to meet with Trump on a possible $2 trillion infrastructure package. But the meeting quickly went off the rails after Trump learned of Pelosi’s “cover-up” remarks; the president told the Democrats he couldn’t work with them until they halted all of their “phony investigations.”
