House Ethics Committee to Hear Case Against Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick faces 25 violations of House rules and ethical standards, including stealing $5 million in COVID-19 relief funds for personal use.
She has pleaded not guilty to both federal criminal charges and ethics violations, and declined to testify during a previous hearing.
House Speaker Mike Johnson supports her expulsion, which would require a two-thirds vote in the House.
