President Donald Trump immediately responded to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) during her weekly news briefing, accusing her of being disingenuous, when she said the House was making progress on the chamber’s legislative agenda while pursuing impeachment.

Pelosi began the Oct. 2 press conference speaking about progress made to the H.R. 3 bill aimed at lowering the cost of prescription drugs and that they were “on a path” to approving the trilateral trade agreement between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, known as the USMCA. She added that the House was also looking at infrastructure and clean government.
