Lawmakers weigh sanctions for Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida - AP News
Representative Cherfilus-McCormick faces potential House sanctions and expulsion after being found in violation of 25 ethical standards and campaign finance laws.
The House Ethics Committee is considering sanctions against Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) after finding 25 violations of ethics rules. She also faces federal criminal charges for allegedly stealing $5 million in COVID-19 relief funds.
Outlets across the spectrum report on Cherfilus-McCormick's resignation, which occurred just minutes before a scheduled House Ethics Committee hearing regarding 25 alleged violations. While mainstream sources like Axios and NPR focus on the $5 million in pandemic relief funds she allegedly misused, right-leaning outlets like Newsmax and The Floridian highlight her claims of a lack of due process and criticize Democratic leadership for failing to act sooner.
