House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) snapped at Kellyanne Conway, the White House counselor, on Wednesday after President Donald Trump scrapped a planned meeting with Democratic lawmakers because of their behavior just prior to the scheduled meeting, according to reports.

But right before the planned White House meeting, Pelosi held a press conference with reporters and charged that the president had “engaged in a cover-up” regarding the Russia probe.
