Updated 11:57 AM ET, Wed May 22, 2019

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."

You DO understand the philosophical concept of government mushroom farming, don't you?
KEEP THEM IN THE DARK AND THROW SHIT ON THEM!
Agreeably, it is a neo-Machiavellian concept.

No point in legislating, not that there was one anyway. What are McConnell’s plans for the Equality Act?

Y'know, oversight.

If he couldn't stand the scrutiny he should've stayed out of the kitchen.

RESIGN! Save yourself.

We have the mental equivalency of a 12 year brat squatting in the White House, doing nothing. What a joke of a presidency.

Since it's all about ME and not the good of the country, you guys had better stop investigating ME, or you can forget about less-important stuff like governance and legislation to address critical infrastructure needs.

and that he would find a way and an excuse not to do anything.

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.
