Trump in extraordinary Oval Office shouting match with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer as he threatens to shut down the government to get his wall built - and they call him a 'Pinocchio' and tell him: 'Elections have consequences'

Donald Trump's negotiating session with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in Oval Office spiraled wildly out of control, with the politicians viciously tearing into each other in plain view of reporters.
The talks were supposed to be about averting a government shutdown, which both sides said they wanted. But as the cameras rolled the three lectured each other, interrupted and jabbed fingers, with only Mike Pence, the vice-president, staying silent.
Pelosi informed Trump that his border wall wouldn't pass in the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold a majority of seats until the end of the year, if it came for a vote. 'The fact is you do not have the votes in the House,' she told him pointedly.
And Chuck Schumer, the most senior Democrat, called Trump a ‘Pinocchio’ and the two shouted angrily at each other as Pelosi tried to intervene.
The government will shut down before Christmas if a bill to fund spending is not passed by both the House and the Senate and signed by Trump.
