Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee have accused committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) of conducting a “partisan attack” on Vice President Mike Pence’s trip to Doonbeg, Ireland, by demanding documents and information from entities that had nothing to do with the travel and accommodations for the trip.

“Although you coordinated your attack with Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, you failed to consult with any Republican Members before demanding voluminous information from four separate entities – none of which bore responsibility for the lodging and accommodations in Ireland,” wrote committee ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). “We can only assume that these letters were the result of a rushed process to capitalize on news reporting about the Ireland travel, rather than responsible and deliberative oversight.”
