Democratic Congressmember Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida resigned from the House Tuesday, less than an hour before the House Ethics Committee was set to discuss what sanctions to impose on her for violating more than two dozen House rules and ethical standards. The allegations center on how her family’s healthcare business received roughly $5 million in COVID-19 disaster relief funds that Florida had mistakenly overpaid, money prosecutors allege was funneled through a network of businesses and family members to fund her 2021 congressional campaign. Cherfilus-McCormick was indicted on federal criminal charges last year and has pleaded not guilty. She still faces a separate federal criminal trial in Miami.
