Rep. Elijah Cummings caught up in charity scandal–
A charity run by Maya Rockeymoore, the wife of Rep. Elijah Cummings, received millions from special interest groups and corporations that had business before her husband’s committee.
Washington Examiner reported:
Cummings, 68, a Maryland Democrat, is chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. His wife, Maya Rockeymoore, 48, is the chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party and briefly ran in the state’s gubernatorial race last year. The couple married in 2008. Cummings was once heavily in debt — in part due to hefty child support payments to his first wife and two other women he had children with — but his financial situation has improved considerably over the past decade.
Rockeymoore runs two entities, a nonprofit group called the Center for Global Policy Solutions and a for-profit consulting firm called Global Policy Solutions, LLC, whose operations appear to have overlapped, according to the IRS complaint filed by watchdog group the National Legal and Policy Center on Monday. The complaint states that the arrangement may have been used to derive “illegal private benefit.”
Global Policy Solutions received more than $6.2 million in grants between 2013 and 2016, according to tax records. Several of the nonprofit group’s financial backers — which included Google, J.P Morgan and Prudential — have business interests before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Cummings has served as Democratic chairman of the committee since January and previously served as ranking member.

All good though. :-)
Starting to think every Congress member has one of these side foundations that they use to launder bribe money from the big corporations and foreign countries.
Would laz hit it ?
Nothing to see here. Just hypocritical Democrats using left-wing front groups that hide behind benign, pleasant sounding names, ripping off taxpayers and advancing the globalist/marxist agenda and anyone who points it out is a racist/bigot/sexist/homophobe.
This is a game changer...
“Starting to think every Congress member has one of these side foundations”
Oh they absolutely do. I am convinced that after all the news cameras leave, they all sit in a back room together, democrats and republicans, laughing their butts off, lighting their cigars with the dollar bills they have fleeced from us.
He really is garbage. Corrupt democrat garbage.
He’s a horrible looking man. His wife can’t be better looking either. I know that’s petty but he doesn’t look human.
Just ‘Starting to think’? Really?
Will anything happen to him? The commies won’t dare.
He looks like a troll who should be hiding out under a bridge somewhere.
Absolutely nothing is going to happen. There hasn’t been a single demorat indicted for a damn thing no matter how criminal they get. Hillary will walk and absolutely nothing will happen to these people.
All we’ll get is BREAKING NEWS, THIS JUST IN, BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Don’t forget to check his freezer for cash, like the similar William J. Jefferson.
Elija ridin’ dir-tayyyyy.....
The Clinton Foundation was set up to be a money laundering enterprise. The rouge server was to hide all the deals. When that server became the hot focus of the investigation, she BleachBitted it to keep her illegal pay-for-play operation hidden. Then she had Comey drop indictment charges with a phony exoneration. The Russia Collusion hoax was tied into it.
This guy is the worst of the worst but if William Jefferson (Democrat, Louisiana) can be caught by the FBI with bundles of cash in his congressional office and be walking around free right now then Cummings is going to be just fine.
He is the “chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.”
You just can’t make this stuff up.
