President Donald Trump suspended bipartisan legislative efforts with the Democrats on May 22 until the Democrats terminate an onslaught of investigations targeting the White House.

Trump made the announcement after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) accused him of engaging in a “cover-up” shortly before arriving at the White House with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to speak with Trump about a bipartisan effort to secure funding for infrastructure.
