US EditionHouse Ethics Subcommittee Finds Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick Guilty of 25 Violations
The subcommittee found clear evidence of 25 violations including campaign finance misuse and false disclosures amid a $5 million COVID-19 relief funds scandal.
- On Friday, an eight-member House Ethics adjudicatory subcommittee found Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick guilty of 25 ethics counts by summary judgment following a rare, hours-long public hearing on Capitol Hill.
- The investigation centers on allegations that the congresswoman funneled approximately $5 million in disaster relief funds from Trinity Health Care Services to finance her 2022 congressional campaign.
- During Thursday's hearing, attorney William Barzee argued she was entitled to the funds through a "handshake agreement," a defense Ethics Committee Chair Michael Guest rejected as "frankly offensive."
- The full Ethics Committee will convene after the spring recess to recommend sanctions, potentially including expulsion, as Republican Rep. Greg Steube vowed to force a vote on her removal.
- Cherfilus-McCormick faces a separate federal criminal trial in the coming months regarding misappropriation of the same disaster relief funds, where conviction carries a potential sentence of up to 53 years in prison.
