Trump demands probe end, walks out of meeting

WASHINGTON, D.C.: US President Donald Trump abruptly stalked out of a White House meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday (Thursday in Manila), flatly declaring he would no longer work with Democrats unless they drop all investigations in the aftermath of the special counsel’s Trump-Russia report.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called it all “very, very, very strange” and said she was praying for Trump and the nation. Trump tweeted his thanks for her prayers but said he would not proceed down two tracks — investigation and legislation.
