Rep. Elijah Cummings has died at the age of 68, his office said in a statement early Thursday.
Cummings “passed away at Johns Hopkins Hospital due to complications concerning longstanding health challenges,” according to his office.
Cummings served as chairman of the House Oversight Committee, one of the panels overseeing the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. He also famously clashed with the president this summer over the president’s attacks against the Maryland Democrat and his Baltimore congressional district. Several Democratic lawmakers, including city officials, labeled Trump’s comments as racist.

He was so partisan … who cares?
“I’ve never wished a man dead,
but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”
One down…
Uh oh. I hope Trump is not turning into a Clinton.
After all this man did to eliminate crime in his Baltimore neighborhood, you would think he was a saint.
Great man will be sorely missed fought strong for minorities
Quiet congress. Maybe Baltimore will play Chicago and see which fans are more dry. The rage is not bunch good.
Health challenges, yes, sure. More likely the draining of the swamp as has been going strongly lately.
He probably died from the Baltimore rat infested swamp that he didn’t take care of. Or was it his stress to impeach the first duly elected president? Did he take the stolen $16 billion federal aid with him to his grave?
a sheine reine kappura!
He may have gone off the rails with Trump.But he was a steadfast supporter of Israel
Omg disgusting comments he was a very good family man and over all a good person ask Ben Shapiro if you don’t believe me. I hope is family has the strength to get through these trying times.
If he was a proponent of toeivah marriage and abortion (like democrats are) I could not care less about what he did with his family. His intentions may have been noble but he was an advocate for terrible and horrific evil.
Amen
