Story highlights Trump intends to propose "something that is better and more affordable," Cornyn says

McConnell told CNN that the meeting was "pretty lighthearted"

Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump privately told congressional leaders Monday he wants to move forward with an ambitious agenda, including to repeal and replace Obamacare and to pass legislation bolstering the country's infrastructure. But he also brought up two past grievances -- mentioning his inauguration crowd size and reiterating an unsubstantiated claim that 3-5 million illegal votes cost him the popular vote, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

The meeting -- with the top eight House and Senate leaders from both parties -- was mostly social, barely touched on the issues and didn't go into much detail about Trump's policy preferences, Democratic Minority Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront" shortly after the meeting.

"This is largely an opportunity for him to get to know members of the leadership that he did not already know," Hoyer said.
