A corrupt Democrat got caught with her hand in cookie jar and her political career may be about to expire.
As The New York Post reported, Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida was found guilty of more than two dozen ethics violations by the The House Ethics Committee today.
From The Post:
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” of 25 counts related to the scheme following a rare public “trial” that stretched for more than six hours the night before.
It is not clear how each member voted on the panel, which is comprised of four Democrats and four Republicans.
Punchbowl News notes Cherfilus-McCormick now faces expulsion from Congress. A final punishment will be decided after the April recess.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Cherfilus-McCormick was indicted by a federal grand jury for stealing $5 million in FEMA funds last November
According to the Justice Department, Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick and her brother, Edwin Cherfilus, allegedly stole $5 million in FEMA funds and funneled it through different accounts to pay for the defendant’s 2021 congressional campaign.
Cherfilus-McCormick is facing up to 53 years in prison if convicted.
TGP previously reported that The House Ethics Committee would address a 27-count “statement of alleged violations” that was released against Cherfilus-McCormick.
The alleged violations include:
Campaign Finance Violations
Accepting excessive contributions from individuals and entities beyond federal limits.
Accepting illegal corporate contributions (including from Petrogaz-Haiti S.A., LLC, allegedly funded by foreign/Haitian government sources).
Using illegal conduit/straw donor contributions (hiding the true source of funds).

Failing to properly report (or misreporting) candidate loans and repayments.
Commingling personal, business, and campaign funds.

Making false statements on FEC reports.
Financial Disclosure Violations
Failure to file required candidate Financial Disclosure Statements (for 2018, 2020, and 2022 candidacies).
Knowing and willful filing of inaccurate disclosures, including underreporting or mischaracterizing income from her businesses (e.g.,
