House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday she is praying for President Trump after she accused him of covering up wrongdoing, and he retaliated by shutting down a meeting with her.
Mrs. Pelosi, who often talks about her Catholic faith, didn’t discuss the specifics of the exchange she had with Mr. Trump at the White House, but questioned what his motives were.
“In any event, I pray for the president of the United States, and I pray for the United States of America,” she said.
Mr. Trump lashed back out at Mrs. Pelosi on Twitter, said she and other Democratic leaders were “tearing the United States apart” with incessant investigations.
“I will continue to set records for the American people,” the president wrote. “And Nancy, thank you so much for your prayers, I know you truly mean it!”
