Florida Rep. Found Guilty on 25 Counts by House Ethics Committee
"Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick should be expelled from Congress," says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
The House Ethics Committee found Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) broke campaign finance laws and committed other violations by taking more than $5 million in federal relief and funneling much of the money toward her political aspirations.
An eight-member subcommittee voted early Friday that Cherfilus-McCormick was "guilty" on 25 of the 27 counts related to the scheme following a rare public "trial" that stretched for more than six hours the night before.
