Congressman: Info In Classified CIA Doc Would Cause Election Do-Over In Other Countries

“Almost all of this will slowly come out as more investigations happen,”  the rep said.

Maryland Democratic House member Elijah Cummings attended the inauguration, but nonetheless defended Lewis
and others who boycotted, saying in an interview on CNN that “if the
public knew what members of Congress knew” about what is in the
classified briefing on Russian hacking during the presidential election they would “fully understand.”

Washington D.C. where he attended the inauguration of President Donald
