On Tuesday, the House Ethics Committee will decide if a South Florida congresswoman will be sanctioned.
Lawmakers are scheduled to make a disciplinary recommendation after Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., was criminally charged by the United States Department of Justice with stealing $5 million in COVID-19 disaster relief funds that she allegedly used for personal reasons, as well as to help finance her campaign.
The House panel later determined Cherfilus-McCormick committed 25 House ethics violations.
If the committee votes in favor of sanctioning her, the full House will vote on whether Cherfilus-McCormick should be expelled from Congress.
Cherfilus-McCormick, who represents a large swath of Broward and Palm Beach Counties, has denied any wrongdoing and is currently seeking re-election.
