Cummings and Jordan in nasty spat over Mexico trip

Just two days in from the summer recess, leaders of the House Oversight and Reform Committee are already engulfed in an ugly, public fight that escalated Tuesday morning when the top Republican deemed the Democratic chairman’s oversight efforts in need of oversight themselves.

Ranking member Jim Jordan of Ohio sent a new letter to Chairman Elijah Cummings of Maryland Tuesday saying the Democrats' charge that Jordan lied in a previous letter about the details of Democrats' recent visit to Mexico was in itself a lie.

“No matter how hard you try to spin your conduct, you cannot legitimize your politicized oversight,” Jordan wrote in the letter. “We are concerned that because you have chosen to politicize border security, your oversight will not lead to the real legislative reforms needed to solve the crisis at our southern border. Your entire course of conduct in investigating the Administration’s border security efforts has been in pursuit of facts to fit your preconceived political narrative.”
