President Trump's angry threats too not work with congressional Democrats until they stopped investigating him came at a sensitive time for talks over several important issues that bipartisan negotiators had hoped to wrap up before Memorial Day recess
The sudden "flare up," in the words of one GOP leader, left an air of uncertainly over the talks that all sides had reported upbeat progress on in recent days. It also wasn't clear to lawmakers whether Trump's threat related only to the infrastructure spending proposal -- that was the subject of the meeting with Democrats that Trump stormed out of -- or if meant all legislation. "Seems like we have a little bit of an issue right now," said Sen.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell started his day by announcing the chamber would not recess before"taking further action" on the bill, a gentle threat aimed at prodding negotiations that didn't even include a demand the bill become law before they recessed. McConnell didn't know that an hour later Trump would be in the Rose Garden blasting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for charging he was involved in a cover up and threatening to stop working with Democrats.
