"I don't do cover-ups"
... said Donald Trump.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said:
Pelosi says Trump engaged in (a) ‘cover-up’ to hide Ukraine call records
This noun, (a) cover-up, is getting plenty of action these days.
Sometimes the two words are used as one:
The Trump administration’s desperate census coverup continues
This is also a transitive verb.
Whistleblower says White House tried to cover up Trump's abuse of power
And if you're wondering whether this is a separable or not separable two-word verb, see the following:
"President Donald Trump abused his official powers "to solicit interference" from Ukraine in the upcoming 2020 election, and the White House took steps to cover it up."
Can you think of any other well-known coverups in American history? Can you think of any other well-known coverups in the history of your native country, or the country of your ancestry?
