accused Republicans of "grandstanding" with congressional hearings and investigations into the president.

"I just don't see that," Priebus insisted. "I see one of my best friends in Paul Ryan, that offers up year after year after year, a serious position and legislation on tackling our 10-year debt window, getting our economy under control long term, doing it at his own political peril. But yet, he stands there in the House and passes it every time, and it goes nowhere."

Wallace noted that Democrats had also recently passed a budget and Republicans in the Senate were now refusing to allow a conference committee to reconcile the two budgets.

Priebus, however, dodged that question, saying only that "big things can happen in this country. I think that trust is an issue. I think this president says one thing and does another."
