Elijah Cummings: Emerging Democratic scandals are a ‘distraction’ — "We've got a lot of distracting going on here, and I warn the American people, and I'm saying it very clearly. They need to listen to Corker, they need to listen to Flake," Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said of the two Republican senators who have been most critical of Trump.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., argued Wednesday that two new emerging Democratic scandals are just a “distraction” from the attempt by Democrats to fight President Trump.

Reports broke Tuesday that Democrats and Hillary Clinton’s campaign paid for research into the so-called Trump dossier, even after Democrats insisted they weren’t behind what many have said is a flawed and inaccurate document on Trump.
