“I’m the most transparent president in the history of the country,” declares @POTUS reacting to @SpeakerPelosi comment on a “cover up.”

“I don’t do cover ups,” adds @POTUS in Rose Garden.

“There were over 500 search warrants,” says @POTUS.

“No collusion, no obstruction, no nothing,” as result of special counsel investigation, contends @POTUS. “These people were out to get us.”

At impromptu @WhiteHouse news conference, @POTUS says “the crime was committed on the other side.”

“You ought to be ashamed of yourselves the way you reported dishonestly,” @POTUS chides the assembled media.

“I want to do infrastructure....but you can’t do it under these circumstances,” @POTUS says he told @SenSchumer and @SpeakerPelosi today.

And @POTUS says @TheDemocrats “might carry the I-word out.”

“When they get everything done I’m all set” to negotiate on #infrastructure, says @POTUS.

Again @POTUS refers to the “I-word” for #impeachment.

After a couple of questions taken, @POTUS departs — doesn’t respond to my shouted question: “Are you trying of to goad the Democrats into an impeachment hearing?”
Then sound of Oval Office door slamming shut.

Here’s a handout we were just given by @WhiteHouse staff.

Senate Democrats say @POTUS walked out of the #infrastructure meeting.
