a 13-year term congman who's served under four different presidents. and he was hand picked by the democratic leaders. >> this job. >> we are in a fighting for the soul of our democracy. and you got to understand that. this is serious business. >> reporter: you could dismiss the congressman's statement as partisan hyperbole but part of the government is shuttered, foftrump's former associates are convicted felons, four left under a cloud of scandal and there are 17 other investigations underway. >> will you all please raise your right hand. >> reporter: not counting the ones about to begin in the new deat ofenta comed to nd cpel have ithe pastcans a

you know why? because that's our job. and it comes to subpoena, i know the power of subpoena having practiced law. you agot to have documents, emails, information. >> reporter: for the first two years of the trump administration that information was beyond the reach of house democrats. the power of subpoena belonged exclusively to the republican majority. as ranking democrat comings made 64 requests for subpoenas on things like white house security clearances, hurricane are relief efforts in puerto rico and the justice department's refusal to defend the affordable care act. all of them were blocked by the republican chairman. you've asked for documents connected to jared kushner's use of private emails, child separation policy at the border.

believe cummings should guy for the juggialer and push for impeachment. he says that's premature. his hstaff has already sent out letters asking for documents related to investigations that committee may launch. the issues range from the private use of government aircraft by cabinet members to the flow of foreign money into various enterprises like his hotel in washington. you think he's making money off this job? >> please. >> reporter: a lot of money? >> a lot of money. >> reporter: and you say the laws and constitution say -- >> it's not okay. i still believe that people -, my block, they ought to know if the president is making a deal in his self interest or that of

the country. >> reporter: in response the white house says these complaints are completely baseless but we cannot comment further about ongoing litigation. elijah cummings is not a creature of washington. >> this is part of my district. >> reporter: he commutes from his maryland district an hour's drive to the north where he represents 700,000 people in most of the city baltimore. he was born here 67 years ago to parents who had been share croppers before moving north for a better life. his father worked in a chemical plant. his mother was domestic. both were pent costal ministers. >> first religion, then education. he had a saying, if you miss one day of school, that meant you died the night before and he meant that.

news." and welcome back to the overnight news. i'm michelle miller. elijah cummings has been the ranking member of the house oversight committee for six years. during that team he's watched the republican chairman ignore 64 of his subpoena requests and cut off his microphone in midsentence. those days, they're over. congressman cummings is now the chairman of that committee. >> reporter: when riots broke out in baltimore three years ago after the death of a young black man, freddy grey who was injured in the back of a police van, cunmmings gained national attention walking the streets trying to keep the peace. he's part of the fabric. but now he's stepped on to a much larger stage under bright lights of the oversight committee. >> well, i sit here and the democrats will be all over here.

and the republicans will be over there. our hearings can go anywhere from an hour 1/2, to 11 or 12 hours. >> so you got good, comfortable chair? >> and i got to tell you, steve, standsing here it sort of gives me chills in a way because i think about my journey to chair. >> reporter: after years as the committee's ranking minority leader he's ready to wield the gavel and issue subpoenas. and you don't have unlimited power and the republicans are going to put a lot of obstacles in your way >> i expect that. there's one big elephant sitting around here that we don't know what it's going to yield and that is mueller's report. i don't know what that report is going to have in it. one thing i do know is whatever it is, if it exonerates the

president, fine. but this i do know.ment. >> reporter: you think it's possible the republicans will try and suppress the report? >> i hope not but that's a possibility. i hope they don't. >> reporter: cummings republican foil is one of the president's most loyal and enthusiastic reporters. how would you describe your relationship? >> there's not much of anything that mr. cummings and i agree on policy wise but i respect hiss toughest, his tenacity. he's demonstrated he's a fighter and my background is such that i apprec dratiate that. >> reporter: a founding member of the freedomoa. he's seldom seen wearing a

jacket and always ready to go to the mat. >> taxes have been cut, economy growing at an unbelievable rate, 312,000 jobs added last month alone. gorsuch and kavanaugh on the court, hostages are home from north carolina and by the way there's arnew nafta agreement. so it's an amazing record and that's what i know about the two years weaveler donald trump 've the president of the united states. >> reporter: you said you must valiantly defend t truthfulness president trump's strongest asset. >> well, i mean, steve, look, this president has probably been attacked more than any president that in my lifetime. and over the last two years in spite of that unprecedented

attacks that have come against president trump, the last two years have been amazing. >> reporter: chairman cummings wouldn't disagree the past two years have been amazing but in a different way. >> i don't think the other presidents called a lie a truth and a truth a lie. i'm going to tell you that's what makes the relationship so difficult. it's hard to trust. want to believe if you make an agreement with someone and i believe with the other presidents it was this way. their word was their bond. i don't know how to compare and i'm not trying to be smart. >> reporter: year in new territory here? >> yes,er it's new territory. >> reporter: the new territory includes a beefed up white house it will anticipate as a barrage of requests and subpoenas from congress. what happens if you issue a bunch of subpoenas and the administration invokes executive

privilege or doesn't respond? >> it probably will end up in the courts and one of the interesting thing about the courts is our president has been making sure that some of the most conservative judges are being appointed to the federal bench and i think he relies on that. and i think that he assumes that the courts will possibly be helpful to him. >> reporte >> reporter: it promises to be a demanding time for a man whose spent time in the hospital. as he shows the victory chair chapel, he relied on a cane and a walker. he says his chairmanship will be a physical burden on him but -- you feel you have the strength and stamina? >> i'm good.
