Democrats press Cherfilus-McCormick to resign or face expulsion after ethics findings
A growing number of House Democrats are calling on Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to resign or be expelled after the House Ethics Committee found 25 of 27 charges against her proven, including alleged misappropriation of disaster-relief funds. She is also under federal indictment. The Ethics Committee will vote on punitive action in mid-April, potentially including fines, censure, or expulsion, and several Democrats say they would support expulsion or resignation, signaling significant pressure on her remaining in Congress.
