A Democratic congressman from Maryland has been diagnosed with a type of cancer.

He said in a statement that the disease was a serious but curable form of cancer.

He said that after four months of treatment, his situation is excellent.

The congressman, who served on the House January 6 committee, said he expects to continue working while undergoing treatment, but will take steps to reduce his exposure to the flu.

He said that it also causes hair loss and weight gain and that he is still holding out hope for the kind that causes hair gain and weight loss.

He said that he would get through this and that he would keep making progress in Congress for American democracy. The doctors, nurses and medical personnel who provide us comfort and hope go out of their way to make us feel good this holiday season.

The man who was elected to Congress in 2016 is known for his work investigating the Capitol riot and as an impeachment manager during the second impeachment of Donald Trump.

Two years ago, he lost his son to suicide just days before the Capitol attack.

It was a low point for me. I was not asleep. I was not consuming food. He told the New York Times that he was unsure if he would ever be able to do anything again. Nancy Pelosi asked me to be the lead impeachment manager.
