Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned shortly before a House Ethics Committee hearing on findings that she violated House rules; she said the process was unfair, while committee members defended it. The report also covers allegations against Representative Cory Mills, an effort to expel him, and a study of public sexual-harassment allegations in Congress.
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.
