President Trump says he won't do any deals with congressional Democrats until investigations of him are finished. Trump is angry about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's accusation that he is engaging in a cover-up. She made that remark after a closed door meeting with House Democrats on the Trump investigations and the possibility of opening impeachment proceedings.        Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is shocked at President Trump's decision to walk away from negotiations about infrastructure. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared in a Capitol briefing with Schumer today, stating that she is praying for both the President and the Country. Schumer said he doesn't think Trump was serious about renovations to the country's highways, bridges, rails and airports.       Over 60 counties in Oklahoma are under an executive order for the disaster following heavy rain over the last several days has lead to historic flooding.
