Top House Republican Blasts Schumer for Lies, Calls for Cameras at Future Meetings - ntknetwork.com/top-house-repu…
“I want to clarify a few things, as I just listened to Senator Schumer. I know he complained the time you had cameras in the meeting. I think we need to bring them back,” McCarthy told reporters outside the White House after the brief meeting.
“Because what he described the meeting to be was totally different than what took place.”
Schumer told reporters that Trump had thrown a “temper tatntrum” and walked out the meeting with congressional leaders after Speaker Pelosi said she would not fund a southern border wall.

However, according to McCarthy, Trump asked Pelosi and Schumer for what offer the Democrats had come up with to secure America’s southern border and reopen the government.
“She again argued whether we even have a crisis or whether facts are true. [Trump] turned to Schumer again who said, ‘We just have to open the gov't up,'” McCarthy said.
“The president would go back and forth in a negotiation in a very respectful way. I saw Schumer continue to raise his voice.”
According to McCarthy, Trump eventually turned to Pelosi and asked her, “If we open the government up, in 30 days could we have border security?”
