Cherfilus-McCormick Found Guilty by House Ethics Panel, Expulsion Debate Looms

A bipartisan House Ethics Committee found Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick guilty on 25 of 27 counts, including campaign finance violations, false disclosures, misusing official funds, and lack of candor, tied to a $5 million government overpayment to her family’s health care company that allegedly supported her 2022 campaign; the panel’s summary judgment paves the way for punitive action in mid-April, with expulsion a possibility, while Cherfilus-McCormick maintains innocence and faces a separate criminal trial.
