President Trump on Sunday accused a pair of conservative organizations and a group of hard-right House lawmakers of being at least partially responsible for the collapse of the Republican effort to overhaul the nation’s health-care law.

The House group’s leader and another member of the organization declined to respond to the criticism in a pair of television interviews.
