The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee is launching an investigation into the anti-abortion-rights group that has targeted Planned Parenthood with a series of undercover videos.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) sent a letter to the Center for Medical Progress on Thursday, demanding details to show whether the group broke state or federal laws when it secretly recorded videos of Planned Parenthood staff without consent.
The Center, led by the anti-abortion activist David Daleiden, established a fake company to gain entry into clinics and meetings with Planned Parenthood officials — a move that Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), have blasted as potentially illegal. The group has also been asking for donations as a nonprofit charitable organization for the last two years, which Cummings said contrasts with its current self-identification as a group of citizen journalists.
Cummings warned that if Republican leaders of the committee decide to hold hearings on Planned Parenthood, he will ask Daleiden to testify.
"Any legitimate and balanced congressional investigation must also address your group's role in these activities," Cummings wrote.
The Maryland Democrat launched his probe into the group shortly after the GOP leaders of the House Oversight Committee announced they would be investigating Planned Parenthood.
Nearly a dozen states have already launched investigations into Planned Parenthood, several of which have already ended without finding evidence of wrongdoing.
Several states — including California, where the group is based — have also pledged to investigate the Center for Medical Progress and its staff.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch has pledged the Department of Justice will review all evidence, but declined to say if any formal investigations will take place.
It’s about time that ALL these sleazeball politicians realize ... you don’t want to hear from anyone outside your district (i.e. zipcode based email blocks) ... hell, you can’t spend anybody’s money from outside your district either.
If you refuse to hear us, we refuse you access to our monies and taxes.
Can’t wait to see a video of all those Dems ABORTED!
This is exactly what I'm trying to decide....PP founder didn't want Black People, hence abortion, so why would a Black person defend this?????

Elijah Cummings is the hardest working White House stooge in congress.
He does his best to disrupt hearings on Benghazi, Fast and Furious and thew IRS Scandal.
One of his key moves is to cry and wail that he is being “disrespected.”
Plays the race card with the best of them...
That EXACTLY what he did when he was working in tandem with Lois Lerner against True The Vote.
