Cummings and Jordan engage 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.
