i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has cut short a key meeting with leaders of the opposition democrats trump says that he ended the talks face closed it's freaky because some democrats are openly discussing starting in pietschmann proceedings against him but senior democrats say that trump's walkout was a planned stunt they also again accuse the president of trying to cover up interference in the mother investigation. says that he won't work with the democrats until they stop discussing impeachment or as he calls it the i word this meeting was set up a number of days ago delivered it luck all of a sudden here last night they're going to have a meeting right before this meeting to talk about the i word the i word for you imagine. we're joined by did any of correspondent helen humphrey who is standing by
11:03 pm
in washington so how can a walk us through why trump cut this meeting with a democrat short. sour on the surface the president said that he was furious that speaker of the house nancy pelosi accused him of being engaged in a cover up and indeed that is something that nancy pelosi said shortly after meeting with her caucus today and this frustrated his efforts to push back on subpoenas to resist testimony to exert executive privilege but rather than just counsel the meeting it to pair to be a choreographed move the fact that the president attended just for a few brief moments before appearing to storm out onto the rose garden lawn and speak to reporters there and say that he would no longer work with democrats at this stage so long as they continue to investigate him the question is why now because as we all know the democrats have long been investigating the president ever since they took control of the house following the midterm elections senate
11:04 pm
minority leader chuck schumer was one of those saying it was because the president doesn't want to pass this infrastructure bill he can't come up with the funds for it that said the president also said that he was furious about mention of the word impeachment and certainly talk about impeachment has intensified in recent days and are the democrats looking for the i word and. i say they're not united on that front sara as you know nancy pelosi speaker of the house is you know long pushed for this softly softly investigation approach instead you know a growing contingent now does want to at least see an impeachment inquiry let's take a listen to what nancy pelosi had to say on the issue today we do believe that it's important for them to follow the facts we believe that no one is above the law including the president of the united states and we believe that the president is engaged in a pub or up in
11:05 pm
a coverup. speaker of the house nancy pelosi now impeachment would likely fail so long as we have a republican controlled senate as we do now nor necessarily do the american public actually want to see impeachment a recent wide ranging poll found 60 percent of americans do not support impeachment but the president's removal from office could come with the election 60 percent of americans also said they do not want to see donald trump reelected come 20202020 though still a long way away helena so it begs the question what happens in the meantime if trump vows not to work with the democrats on legislation what does it mean for the country i think that's a really good question you know it's important not to get sidetracked by the theatrical the soap opera of washington politics is about getting things done for the country right now we're going to see little progress on a badly needed infrastructure bill so no money for aging bridges roads high speed

internet which is needed in hospitals at ports to trade deals nafta for example which is jew and updated ratification on that that likely won't happen and that could be risky for a president to his long staked his claim on being a deal maker and economic reform and that in light of an election campaign code be a dangerous move helen humphrey in washington thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world north korea has labeled us presidential hopeful joe biden quote a fool of low i.q. and an imbecile bereft of elementary quality as a human being this after biden called north korean leader kim jong un a tyrant gang also said that biden's candidacy was enough to make a cat laugh. the united states has said that it suspects the syrian government of using chemical weapons again this time in
