TRUMP ERUPTS OVER COVER-UP CLAIM
NANCY Pelosi is the most powerful woman in American politics, and President Donald Trump’s most potent Democratic nemesis.
The pair have sparred repeatedly, but the gloves really came off on Wednesday.
Pelosi, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, started the day with an emergency meeting of House Democrats, as the possibility of impeaching Trump swirled over Capitol Hill.
After the meeting, she said the Republican leader was “engaged in a cover-up” – a likely reference to his alleged obstruction of justice with respect to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
Trump first hit back on Twitter, decrying a “Witch Hunt” against him and his administration. Then, he apparently shut down planned talks with Pelosi and top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer on an infrastructure initiative.
