Good Thursday morning. Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today.

• President Trump abruptly blew up a meeting with Democratic congressional leaders on Wednesday, declaring that he could not work with them until they stopped investigating him and lashing out at Speaker Nancy Pelosi for accusing him of a “cover-up.”

• The White House meeting was only Ms. Pelosi’s second most important meeting of the morning. Seeking to head off a growing revolt by House Democrats, she also convened an all-hands meeting to sell her members on her strategy of exhausting all avenues before taking up impeachment.

• The Justice Department has agreed to begin honoring a subpoena for intelligence materials related to the special counsel’s investigation, staving off Democratic action to try to force compliance.
