American President Donald Trump on Wednesday unexpectedly ended a meeting with Democratic lawmakers on infrastructure spending. The president later explained he would no longer work with Democrats unless they drop all investigations related to the special counsel’s report on Russia election interference and contacts with the Trump campaign. After walking out of the meeting, Trump spoke with reporters who had gathered outside the White House. He attacked comments made earlier Wednesday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in which she accused the president of a “cover-up.” “I don’t do cover-ups,” Trump told reporters. He also accused Democrats of holding a meeting the same morning to discuss what he called “the I word,” impeachment. That is the process set up by the U.S. Constitution for Congress to remove a president from office. The president said he told Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that he wanted to make an infrastructure deal more than they did. But he said, “You can’t do it under these circumstances.
