House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) sent a letter to her Congressional colleagues Wednesday night saying President Donald Trump “had a temper tantrum” earlier in the day after he walked out of infrastructure talks with party leaders and held an impromptu press conference in the White House Rose Garden. “Sadly, the only job the president seems to be concerned with is his own,” Pelosi wrote. Following the meeting, Pelosi told reporters she believed Trump was “engaged in a cover-up,” a comment that apparently enraged him when he saw it on TV, The Washington Post reported. He then staged his press conference in the Rose Garden. In Pelosi’s letter, the House speaker reaffirmed her party’s commitment to passing infrastructure legislation “regardless of the president’s behavior.”Read her full letter, obtained by CBS News, below.
