WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida committed numerous violations of House rules and ethics standards, the House Ethics Committee found Friday in a ruling that could add weight to Republicans’ potential push to expel her from Congress.
After meeting into early Friday morning following a seven-hour hearing, the ethics panel of four Democrats and four Republicans found that Cherfilus-McCormick had committed 25 ethics violations, including breaking campaign finance laws. The panel said it would recommend a punishment in the coming weeks.
The allegations center around Cherfilus-McCormick’s receipt of millions of dollars from her family’s health care business after Florida made an overpayment of roughly $5 million in disaster relief funds. Cherfilus-McCormick is accused of using that money to fund her 2022 congressional campaign through a network of businesses and family members.
The congresswoman, who is running for a fourth term representing a southeastern Florida district, has denied wrongdoing, and her attorney stridently criticized Thursday’s public hearing — the first open proceeding in nearly 15 years. But the ruling from the Ethics Committee could fuel a potential vote on her expulsion and divide a Democratic caucus that is trying to make a comeback to power in the November midterm elections.
Cherfilus-McCormick also faces federal charges for allegedly stealing the $5 million in COVID-19 disaster relief funds and using it for purchases like a 3-carat yellow diamond ring. Her brother, former chief of staff and accountant were also charged. She has pleaded not guilty to those charges, and her attorney indicated Thursday that the trial is expected to start in the coming months.
What did the Ethics panel find her guilty of?
The congresswoman declined to testify during Thursday’s ethics hearing, citing her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Her attorney, William Barzee, sparred with some of the lawmakers on the ethics panel...

Having a hyphenated name alone should be enough to expel her.
When you loose AP, its time to hang it up and hide as prison is right around the corner.
Look for her to suddenly vanish.
Sounds like qualifications for a Dem leadership position. Rush would’ve called it a resume enhancement...
Only 25? Well then the gutless, limp-wristed Repuklicans should issue a sternly worded letter and get back to the business of being the ineffectual pansies they always been...
All of the former pancake shack waitresses who used to steal each other’s tips are now part of the Federal systems.
“Well then the gutless, limp-wristed Repuklicans ...”
Stupid post.
A House committee hearing centered on allegations that elected Fla Democrat, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, used family companies to embezzle $5M tax dollars in emergency COVID-19 funds into her “2021 special election campaign” (held to replace dead Democrat Alcee Hastings).
Also alleged———illegal in-kind campaign contributions from an organization tied to the campaign manager of Cherfilus-McCormick’s 2021 and 2022 campaigns.
“This is disgraceful. The American people deserve better.
We should expel Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick” was the conclusion.
Charges against her 25 ethics violations include:
<><>collusion, conspiracy,
<><>theft of “government funds” (tax dollars),
<><>money laundering,
<><>illegal campaign contributions,
<><>falsifying tax documents.
Cherfilus-McCormick having a hyphenated name alone should be enough to expel her.
LOL.......nails it.
She committed 25 ethics violations, and she’s then denying she did anything wrong? 25 violations?
Make it 26, for being denying so many violations. And the number of violations should be increased by many more, because she was in congress under false pretenses, biggest one being that, she ‘won’ the elections fairly.
He picture should be hung up on the congressional wall somewhere, as an example of the most corrupt people to ever serve in congress.
She needs to be kicked out of congress, and then ‘deported’ to Venezuela or Iran or Somalia, even if she’s not from there, because of her corruption.
She is in the seat crooked Alcee Hastings had...
Where are Yogi and Booboo?
Is Sheila from Somalia?
Maybe when Florida redistricts next month (yeah, we’ll see), they can consolidate her district with the adjacent ghetto district and we lose either this grifter or the equally dim Frederica Wilson.
Otherwise this gal is in no trouble whatsoever, electorally. Just look at who votes for her.
Nature has a way of warning you, rattlesnakes rattle , black widows have the red hourglass, hyphenated women of color, the last name is a give away.
dontcha mean Criminal acts!!!!
Only 25? She’s a piker!
Up yours...
“Up yours”
