Trump, giving an impromptu speech after Pelosi accuses him of a cover-up: "I don't do cover-ups. You people know that probably better than anybody."
Trump, bashing the Mueller investigation once more, takes his third-person speech to a new level: "They hated President Trump. They hated him, with a passion."
Trump on Donald Jr.: "A good young man who's gone through hell." He points out that Jr.'s blocked-number calls before and after the Trump Tower meeting were not to him. (They were to NASCAR's CEO and a real estate developer, family friends.)
Trump tells Democrats again that they can either investigate him or they can do things together for the American people, not both.
Trump, warning about precedent, says "we can't allow" a situation where a Republican House could just impeach a Democratic president for some bad reason.
Trump is angry that Democrats had today's infrastructure meeting with him set up a while ago (he says) and then they set up another Dems-only meeting beforehand and talked impeachment. He says indignantly, "I don't speak to Russians about campaigns."
Trump has departed. That was ranty. In summary: The president says he's not working with Democrats on policy until they stop investigating him.
Trump sent Pelosi a letter yesterday saying he didn't plan to work with Democrats on infrastructure until the House ratifies the new NAFTA. Now he's saying he won't work with Democrats on infrastructure until they stop investigating him. So: infrastructure week isn't going great.
Yeah, that's fair. The White House can print stuff pretty quickly, and might have had anti-Mueller materials ready for use before today, but I don't personally know how impromptu it was.
