Before he left the House speaker’s position, Rep. Bryan Cutler transferred $51.5 million from accounts he controlled in that office to the Republican leadership account.

Democrats are crying foul. But Mr. Cutler, R-Lancaster, said it was money that belonged to the GOP.

That is the latest twist in the ongoing dispute over who holds majority control in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

This argument over money erupted on Tuesday as Democrats shared a letter Cutler sent to the House comptroller requesting the transfer of money to accounts that, as Republican leader, he controls. The letter was dated Nov. 22, eight days before his speakership concluded.
