The House Ethics Committee found Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick committed 25 violations involving the misappropriation of $5 million in federal relief funds.The Florida Democrat allegedly used the taxpayer money to finance her political campaign and to purchase personal items such as a diamond ring.While she has pleaded not guilty to separate federal charges, the bipartisan panel is preparing to recommend punishment for the ethical breaches.This ruling likely strengthens efforts to expel her from the House as Republicans maintain a narrow majority and the
Democratic Caucus faces internal divisions.
