WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker Nancy Pelosi says President Donald Trump’s suggestion that lawmakers abandon their investigations of the administration is a “threat” that has no place in Congress.

Pelosi told reporters Wednesday “the president should not bring threats to the floor of the House.”

Stop investigating me or I'll veto everything?

That's using the power of your office to obstruct an investigation, plain and simple.

Give me the handcuffs and I'll "take down" that godam traitor myself.
