Carolyn Maloney, who recently took the chair position after Elijah Cummings’ recent passing, has a stake in several real estate businesses. The real estate company she gets money from reportedly has two properties in Virginia Beach that allegedly evicted several tenants for complaining about problems with the units they were renting. 

Another set of baggage that Maloney is carrying is that she signed into law a bill that encouraged banks to start buying back certain bonds, the same type of bonds she herself had and sold for an amount estimated to be worth somewhere in the hundreds of thousands.
