Watch: Trump shoots back at Democrats, declares ‘I don’t do cover-ups’

President Trump on Wednesday ripped House Democrats for continuing investigations into his administration and shot back at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who claimed that he is “engaged in a cover-up.”

“I don’t do cover-ups,” Trump declared during a hastily arranged news conference in the Rose Garden.

The president said he was ready to attend a meeting with Democrats on infrastructure at the White House with Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer right after she made the comments.

Trump said he walked into the room and told Pelosi and Schumer that he couldn’t talk about an infrastructure plan after the House speaker accused him of stonewalling the congressional investigations.
