Top Democrat's wife may have gained 'illegal private benefit' from his committee activities
washington examiner ^ | 5/20/2019 | alana goodman

A charity run by the wife of Rep. Elijah Cummings received millions from special interest groups and corporations that had business before her husband’s committee and could have been used illegally, according to an IRS complaint filed by an ethics watchdog group.

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."

Might be easier to name the Democrat whose family didn’t profit off their committee activities.

Trump should order the DOJ to subpoena all of Cummings financial records for the past 40 years

You know...that whole “co-equal branch” thingy

Rather than investigating the billionaire that became a politician, someone needs to look at these slimy politicians that have become filthy rich doing "the peoples work"

It must be excruciating for MSM people to have to ignore such juicy stories. For how long will they?

I think many rats will soon rue the day they went after the President.

Go Trump!

It’s not called the Congressional Black Crook Caucus for nothing.
