Trump releases statement trashing McConnell for not passing infrastructure while he was president. But it was Trump who walked away from a $2 trillion deal in 2019.

• Donald Trump blasted Mitch McConnell and GOP lawmakers who voted for the infrastructure bill.
• He also claimed that McConnell scuttled a $2 trillion deal during his tenure in 2019.

Former President Donald Trump lambasted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after 13 House Republicans and 19 GOP senators voted with Democrats to pass the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the former president reprised his "old crow" moniker for McConnell and asked why "he was incapable of getting a great Infrastructure Plan wanting to be put forward by me and the Republican Party?"

"He continuously said he couldn't get it passed, just like I had to go around him to get the very popular Southern Border Wall built," Trump continued, referring to an emergency declaration he signed to get access to funds for a wall at the border.

But it was Trump himself who tanked negotiations on a $2 trillion infrastructure package in 2019

In May 2019, Democratic leaders and the Trump administration had a productive first round of negotiations around a floated $2 trillion infrastructure package.

But the deal crumbled over the Democratic-controlled House investigations into Trump after the release of then-special counsel Robert Mueller's report.

During a second meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Trump walked out within three minutes of negotiations.

"Instead of walking in happily to a meeting, I walk in to look at people that just said that I was doing a cover-up. I don't do cover-ups," Trump said at a press conference in the White House Rose Garden flanked by a sign that said "No Collusion, No Obstruction."

Pelosi had earlier that day accused Trump of a "cover-up" for ignoring congressional subpoenas.

The $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill that is awaiting President Joe Biden's signature is set to fund, in part, improvements to roads and bridges, clean energy and electric-vehicle infrastructure, and more. It passed in the House on Friday with a 228-206 vote, after passing the Senate in August with 19 Republicans, including McConnell, voting in favor.
