Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Florida Democrat indicted in connection with $5 million in FEMA COVID-relief funds allegedly directed to her campaign, with the House Ethics Committee preparing to consider expulsion. An investigative subcommittee approved a motion for summary judgment against her, effectively a guilty verdict on the allegations, making an expulsion recommendation likely. Expulsion would require roughly 80 democrats to join Republicans, and Axios reports that sentiment against her could prompt some Democrats to support removing her. Cherfilus-McCormick denies wrongdoing, while fellow Democrats like Rep. Angie Craig stress the seriousness of the charges and high standards for members of Congress.The piece also notes discussions about expelling Rep.
