Trump blasts House Speaker Pelosi's 'cover-up' accusation, balks on infrastructure
US President Donald Trump denies opposition charges of a"cover-up" related to the Russia election meddling probe, urging Democrats to end what he called"phony investigations."
President Donald Trump fired back at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's accusation on Wednesday that he is engaged in a cover-up, saying at a hastily arranged White House appearance, ''I don't do cover-ups.'' The Republican president added that he was upset that Democratic lawmakers discussed the possibility of impeaching him before a White House meeting on infrastructure.''No collusion, no obstruction, no nothing,'' Trump said. ''This whole thing was a take-down attempt at the president of the United States.''
''No one is above the law, including the president of the United States. And we believe that the president of the United States is engaged in a cover-up,'' Pelosi told reporters after a morning meeting of House of Representatives Democrats.
