Elijah Cummings’ young widow will run for his seat

Nothing to see here, other than the long history of the woman, with her husband’s connivance, receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars (millions, according to some reports) from corporations whose interests were overseen by Cummings’ Congressional committee. She funneled “contributions” from those corporations into her personal charity and from there to her personal accounts.

House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings’s wife has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars from her charity to her private for-profit organization, according to a previously undisclosed cost-sharing arrangement that multiple experts said raises red flags.

Maya Rockeymoore Cummings’s charity, the Center for Global Policy Solutions (CGPS), paid her for-profit venture, Global Policy Solutions LLC, over $250,000 in “management fees” between 2013 and 2015, according to the charity’s audited financial statements covering those years. The management fees were paid in addition to a cost-sharing agreement where the charity pays for its share of equipment, personnel and other expenditures.

Rockeymoore Cummings’s charity is funded by companies with interests before her husband’s congressional committee, according to the Washington Examiner.

Cummings, once burdened with millions of dollars of debt, died a wealthy man. Amazing what talent, hard work, and thrift can accomplish on a mere Congressman’s salary.
