Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump said in impromptu remarks Wednesday that he told Democrats at the White House he couldn't work with them while they were pursuing investigations into him and his administration.
The Rose Garden speech came after an abbreviated meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer who were there to discuss a bipartisan infrastructure spending package.
He said during the meeting with Democrats that he couldn't work with them until their investigations are over.
Earlier Wednesday, Pelosi had told reporters Trump was engaged in a "cover-up."

KEEP THEM IN THE DARK AND THROW SHIT ON THEM!
Agreeably, it is a neo-Machiavellian concept.

This does two things.
1. It proves that the Dems are willing to work on this and they have an actual plan.
2. It proves that Trump and the Repubs got nothing and are just obstructing.
Now it's up to the media to show this in the proper light.
