President Trump hit back at Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi calling her statement fascist after she said he was involved in a “criminal cover-up.”
“It’s a fascist statement, it’s a disgraceful statement,” Trump said Friday in an interview on “Fox & Friends.” “For her to make a statement like that, it’s outrageous.”
Trump’s comments were in response to Pelosi saying the president is involved in a criminal cover-up.
“I believe that he has been involved in a criminal cover-up. I’ve said that before, and our investigation is showing that,” the California Democrat said in a Thursday press conference.
Trump continued his assault of the Pelosi in the interview saying that the Democrat were involved in criminal behavior.
“Her party got caught spying, if you look at what happened, Hillary Clinton with the money that ultimately went to Russia for the fake dossier that total fake pile of stuff. That money gets paid — by the way the amount of money that was paid and it was paid by Hillary Clinton and the DNC and went to Russia. That’s the criminal, and when you look at what happened in terms of the campaign, when you look at what happened in terms of the spying, she never mentions that.”
“[S]he’s allowing drug dealers and gang members into our country, maybe that’s criminal when you talk about it,” Trump added.
Since the April conclusion the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller which found Trump’s 2016 election campaign did not conspire with the Russian government, top Democrats have claimed the president is engaged in a cover-up after Trump has stoned walled request for information and witness cooperation in connection with congressional investigations.
“The big issue that I think needs to be made to the American people is that this president is conducting one of the biggest cover-ups of any administration in the history of the United States,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said in May in response to the Trump administration refusing to comply with congressional investigations.
Trump has said he will be “fighting all subpoenas” from House Democrats.
