House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says she's praying for President Trump — and for the nation — after he suddenly ended a meeting to discuss infrastructure.
Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke to reporters following Trump reportedly walking out of their meeting five minutes in after Pelosi earlier in the day said that he is "engaged in a cover-up." Trump refused to work with the top Democrats because of what he called their their "phony investigations," also saying, "I don't do cover-ups."
