Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has passed away.
Of course, President Trump and Cummings clashed after Cummings went to the Mexican border, criticized conditions there, and attacked the Border Patrol.
The Oversight Committee has subpoenaed documents from President Trump’s accountant. Lawyers for the President sued to thwart the subpoena. The U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. ruled on October 11 that the documents must be turned over, a decision that is being appealed.
On May 20, NLPC filed a Complaint with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) against the Center for Global Policy Solutions, headed by Cummings’ wife, Maya Rockeymoore Cummings. The Complaint alleges a score of apparent Internal Revenue Code violations, including prohibited private benefit and inurement of the Cummings.
At the same time she heads CGPS, Mrs. Cummings heads a for-profit consulting firm with a similar name, Global Policy Solutions, LLC, whose operations appear to have been indistinguishable from those of CGPS. The two entities have had shared office space, telephones, etc., all of which are flagrant violations of the Internal Revenue Code, which requires a “bright line” between for-profit and nonprofit operations.
Rumors are already circulating that Maya Rockeymoore Cummings will seek to replace her late husband.
