Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday pushed back against President Trump's declaration in his State of the Union address that "if there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation."
"That was a threat," Pelosi told reporters after a Democratic Caucus meeting. "The president should not bring threats to the floor of the House."
Pelosi expressed disbelief that Trump would openly try to discourage Democrats from pursuing oversight investigations.
“He said he wasn’t going to cooperate unless we didn’t exercise our constitutional responsibility to oversight," Pelosi said.
