A charity run by the wife of Rep. Elijah Cummings received millions from special interest groups and corporations that had business before her husband's committee and could have been used illegally, according to an IRS complaint filed by an ethics watchdog group.
Cummings, 68, a Maryland Democrat, is chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
His wife, Maya Rockeymoore, 48, is the chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party and briefly ran in the state's gubernatorial race last year.
Cummings was once heavily in debt - in part due to hefty child support payments to his first wife and two other women he had children with - but his financial situation has improved considerably over the past decade.
A charity linked to Johnson & Johnson has been pouring cash in, and Cummings has been criticizing high pharmaceutical prices, something J&J would have an interest in stopping criticism about.
A big federal grant to try to stop childhood obesity went to Cummings' charity - and then to a consulting firm with the same name run by his wife.
The Examiner report [points out that political power has been good for Cummings' pocketbook.
