Elijah Cummings’ wife faces mounting ethics questions over charity dealings

Dana Mathewson

Of course, Cummings insists this is all just an attempt to distract attention away from his moral obligation to harass the President.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings'wife reportedly paid her for-profit organization with money from her separate charity as part of a cost-sharing arrangement -- a revelation that is adding to mounting ethical questions surrounding her financial dealings.

The Daily Caller obtained documents showing that Maya Rockeymoore Cummings’charity, the Center for Global Policy Solutions (CGPS), paid over $250,000 between 2013 and 2015 to her similarly named for-profit organization, Global Policy Solutions LLC (GPS).

The documents outline a cost-sharing agreement by which the center shares "equipment, facilities, personnel costs and sundry other services.” But the center also pays GPS 5 percent of the center’s expenses for "managing its programs and operations.”

The Caller calculated those management fees to be over $250,000.

Rockeymoore Cummings also sits as chair of the Maryland Democratic Party, while Rep. Cummings, D-Md., is currently heading up a number of probes into President Trump’s conduct -- including Trump’s tax returns.Cummings' office did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News.

Conservative watchdog The National Legal and Policy Center (NPLC) said that the latest report points to"self-dealing.”

"It’s taking the charity’s resources and turning them into personal profits,” National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) investigator Tom Anderson told the Caller. "IRS law doesn’t allow a charity for this purpose. This isn’t for the public interest, this is for her personal interest. You can’t do that.”

No, you can't -- not legally, anyhow. But weren't the Clintons doing something similar with their Foundation?

Geese get one sauce, ganders get a different one.
