Yet another meeting between Pres. Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blew up. And both sides worked quickly to spin what happened while sources spilled their version of what was going on behind the scenes.
Yet another White House meeting between President Donald Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blew up on Wednesday and in classic Washington fashion, both sides worked quickly to spin what happened while sources spilled their version of what was going on behind the scenes.
President Trump says he came"to do a meeting with Democrats on infrastructure" when he heard Nancy Pelosi's"cover-up" comment:"Instead of walking in happily into a meeting, I walk in to look at people that had just said that I'm doing a cover-up" https://t.co/RTX4b04m2N pic.twitter.com/vVgJGixFwb The sources said the president told Pelosi, Schumer, and others gathered that they needed to get all of the investigations over before they could talk about anything else. There were echoes of the meeting in January when the president stormed out of the room as lawmakers tried to come to a deal to avert a government shutdown.
The president, according to sources, was mad from first thing Wednesday morning and the Pelosi remarks about a “cover-up” pushed him over the edge. He then demanded to speak to cameras.Instead of attention aimed on how she is trying to hold her caucus back from impeachment -- a step Democratic leaders think could imperil their chances of taking down Trump at the ballot box in 2020 -- Pelosi and Schumer could change the focus to the president’s behavior.
