WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is tweeting about a reported burglary at the Baltimore home of Rep. Elijah Cummings. Trump has denigrated Cummings this week, calling his majority-black district a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess."
On Friday, Trump tweeted, "Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed. Too bad!"
Police said they received a report of a burglary at 3:40 a.m. Saturday at a West Baltimore home, but it was unknown whether property was taken. The Baltimore Sun, citing state property records, reported the break-in happened at Cummings' home.
Cummings' House Oversight and Reform Committee has been investigating Trump family members serving in the White House.
The break-in came hours before Trump launched a Twitter tirade against Cummings.
Andy Eichar, Cummings' press secretary, said Thursday Cummings was unavailable for comment.
