The House Ethics Committee has found Democratic congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida committed numerous violations of House rules and ethics standards. It’s a ruling that could add weight to Republicans’ push to expel her from Congress. After meeting for over seven hours Thursday night, an ethics panel composed of four Democrats and four Republicans found Cherfilus-McCormick committed 25 ethics violations. The panel said Friday it would recommend a punishment in the coming weeks. The allegations center around her receipt of millions of dollars from her family’s health care business after Florida made an overpayment of roughly $5 million in disaster relief funds. The congresswoman has denied wrongdoing.
