BALTIMORE — Police in Baltimore are investigating after the home of Congressman Elijah Cummings was broken into early Saturday morning.
The burglary happened around 3:40 a.m at a rowhouse owned by the congressman and his wife, the Baltimore Sun Reported.
This was several hours before President Donald Trump tweeted criticizing Cummings and his district including Baltimore.
Friday, Trump tweeted about the burglary.
"Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed. Too bad!," the president tweeted Friday morning.
Cummings issued a statement, multiple media outlets reported, that he had been home at the time of the burglary and made aware of it from his security system.
