(MENAFN) U.S. President Donald Trump has cut off infrastructure talks with congressional Democratic leaders, demanding House Democrats to conclude their "phony investigations" before talks pick up.
The president said: "I've said from the beginning that you probably can't go down two tracks ... You can go down the investigation track or you can go down the investment track ... We're going to go down one track at a time."
Following a closed-door meeting with all House Democrats, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said House Democrats "believe the President of the United States is engaged in a cover-up."
Trump said he was disappointed to learn that Pelosi had assembled a meeting before their meeting on infrastructure "to talk about the i-word," referring to impeachment.
