Elijah Cummings Wife Hiding Millions Given In Potential Bribes

The wife of Maryland Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings is in a major jam and it involves millions of dollars she is hiding.

Maya Rockeymoore Cummings is not willing to reveal the financial documents for her non profit group the Center for Global Policy Solutions.

And the most concerning part about that is that many of the groups and people that have given donations have business before the committee her husband chairs, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

Maya Rockeymoore Cummings runs a nonprofit called the Center for Global Policy Solutions that is closely intertwined with a for-profit consulting firm, Global Policy Solutions LLC. The nonprofit has received millions of dollars from groups with interests before the congressman’s committee, potentially buying them favorable treatment, according to a complaint filed with the IRS by the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC).

At least three different groups have requested the forms, and to each, Rockeymoore Cummings has refused, even when told that the law requires it. She refused on the phone to NLPC, and did not answer formal requests to view the forms from the Washington Examiner and TheDCNF.

“Wow. That’s illegal,” Sally Wagenmaker, a Chicago attorney who specializes in nonprofit tax law, told TheDCNF. “It’s interesting and sad. You have the right to get them. The organization absolutely is required to provide the information, so to not do so would appear to be flaunting the law.”

“As a family member of an elected official, we’d expect high-road, integrity and compliance. If anyone should be responding promptly, it should be her. He should be above approach.” (RELATED: Cummings, Sheila Jackson Lee Opposed Criminal Justice Reform Because ‘They Just Didn’t Want Trump To Have A Victory’)

Rockeymoore Cummings did not provide any reasoning for her refusal. The congressman later launched ad hominem attacks at the requesters, saying the Examiner and the NLPC leaned conservative, without explaining how that would negate any potential legal issues…

Tom Anderson, an investigator with the NLPC, a good-governance group that leans conservative, told TheDCNF that his group’s phone calls with Rockeymoore Cummings — who is chair of the Maryland Democratic Party — were a bizarre experience.

Should she show her records?

“We called the phone number for the nonprofit and she answered it like her personal cell. Then every time we asked a question, she just kept repeating ‘And how can I help you?’ And then finally hung up. It was so creepy,” Anderson said.

“We pointed out that it was required by law, and her response was ‘And how can I help you?’ It was so weird,” he said.

“It’s against the law. You have to hand those over. We’re a 501(c)(3) and if George Soros or a 10-year old kid requested our 990, we’d have to hand it over on the spot. The idea that she thinks she doesn’t have to is outrageous,” he said.

“The problem is there are millions of dollars coming into these entities from corporations and special interests with business before Elijah Cummings, and any time you have that, every rule has to be followed or else it opens the door for massive corruption.

“And that holds whether the politician in question is Donald Trump, Elijah Cummings or someone else,” Anderson said.
