Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings (MD), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is facing accusations that he is using his position in Congress to financially benefit his wife, whose charity may have gained "illegal private benefit" from his committee activities.
Cummings' wife, Maya Rockeymoore, is the chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party and she "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," The Washington Examiner reported, adding that Rockeymoore's charity "received millions from special interest groups and corporations that had business before her husband’s committee and could have been used illegally."
One of Global Policy Solutions' clients is AARP, which testified before Cummings' committee earlier this year on the prices of prescription drugs after Cummings cited an AARP analysis.

He should be asked to step down from all leadership positions.
You misspelled something.
Asked is actually spelled Forced, but if it wasn’t for double standards, Democrats would have no standards at all. They sure got it good.
And the sycophantic electorate of Baltimore would never consider calling him out.
“Representative Cummings is using his position in Congress to drum up business for his wife,”
Of course he is.
And yet, Kelly Ann has to be fired for violating the Hatch Act. Where are the Republicans out front and center about this with Cummings? Crickets
It’s ok; he’s a Democrat. When Maxine Waters said no one is above the law, she wasn’t talking about democrats.
Extortion set up, no fan of AARP criminals with Obama but this I’m sure is going on with other criminal members of rat committee’s. We can call off the dogs for a few sheckles
basically doing the same thing as billary with their foundation and since they weren’t doing anything wrong, how can cummings and his wife be doing anything wrong?
