WASHINGTON (World News Bureau) - Rep. Maxine Waters (RTRD-CA) is blaming Republicans for an incident on Monday where she was trapped in a federal building for nearly six hours.

Reports say Waters was attempting to exit the building only to find the door "locked," trapping her until a security guard finally freed her hours later. An investigation into the incident determined that an unknown person had apparently taped a handwritten sign that said "Push" on a door that could only be opened by pulling. "This was clearly a Republican effort to sidetrack my efforts to impeach this illegitimate president for working with the Russians. I will be calling for a full investigation," Rep. Waters told reporters Tuesday morning.

Sources say Waters was taken to an area hospital where she was treated for a urinary tract infection and severe exhaustion.
