Republicans blast Cummings over 'irresponsible' claims regarding Trump ethics disclosure
Its only February, but the sniping between the Democratic chairman of the House Oversight Committee and the top Republican members of the committee has already begun.
On Thursday, Republican Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote to Chairman Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) to complain about what he termed extremely unfair and unsupported accusations included in a letter Cummings sent to the White House Counsels Office late Friday.
In that letter , Cummings said that lawyers for President Trump may have provided false information to federal ethics officials about the presidents reimbursements to Michael Cohen, his former personal attorney, for payments Cohen had made to an adult film actress.
The Republicans complained Thursday that Cummings had misinterpreted documents he obtained from the Office of Government Ethics and, as a result, unfairly accused the lawyers of misrepresenting facts about the Cohen payments.
