Elijah Cummings' wife may have gained 'illegal private benefit' from his committee activities

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."

No, the Deep State can't let her ascension to her husband's seat (and beyond) be impeded in any way.

Northwest Woodsman: So much material in today’s news! Cummings and Mad Max are my favorite congressional clowns. How you all could keep him in office is beyond me. He must have a solid block of black voters that helps, but there must be a large number of ignorant and easily manipulated whites that vote for him too. Really sad. I am firmly of the opinion that there should be a test to determine voter ability to reasonably understand facts before they are allowed to vote.

8:27 Cummings is in the FEDERAL not state government. This should be investigated by the DOJ...
