Rep. Elijah Cummings' office denies canceling meeting with Trump

[spanone]

President Donald Trump said a planned meeting with Rep. Elijah Cummings has been called off because of partisan politics — but the prominent Congressional Black Caucus member and top Democrat on the House oversight panel denied it.

“He was probably told, ‘Don’t meet with Trump, it’s bad politics,’ and that’s part of the problem in this country,” Trump said during a marathon press conference at the White House. He also guessed that prominent Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had pressured him into bailing.

Cummings quickly disputed that characterization.

“I have no idea why President Trump would make up a story about me like he did today," Cummings said in a statement. "Of course, Senator Schumer never told me to skip a meeting with the President. I was actually looking forward to meeting with the President about the skyrocketing price of prescription drugs."

1. He must have sent an email as part of the "CBC." It was clear Dear Leader didn't have a clue what

that was until April Ryan said Congressional Black Caucus. How lucky was Trump that one of "them" was there to arrange a meeting. Hope April gets in touch with them on her way back home to the ghetto.

3. They'd better schedule the meeting when Maxine Waters is out of town.

She'd more than likely tell Cheeto something he's not ready to hear.
