President Trump asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi if there was any way to "work something out" hours before she announced that she supports a formal impeachment inquiry.
The two shared a phone call Tuesday, while Trump was attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York. At an event afterward, Pelosi divulged that Trump called initially to talk about gun violence but the conversation then "segued into other things."
According to NBC News' Heidi Przybyla, the California Democrat later told fellow Democrats in a closed-door meeting that she and Trump talked about the Ukraine controversy.
"I got a readout on that — that the president actually said to Nancy Pelosi, 'Hey can we do something about this whistleblower complaint? Can we work something out?' And she said 'Yes, you can tell your people to obey the law,'" Przybyla reported on MSNBC.
"So she quickly swatted that down and made it clear that it is full steam ahead," Przybyla said. She also noted that Trump "used language that we've heard before."
