Florida Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Resigns Amid Ethics Scandal and Indictment
Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick from Florida has resigned from Congress following accusations of stealing $5 million in federal disaster aid. Her resignation comes amid a House Ethics Committee investigation that found her guilty of over two dozen ethics violations. The committee was set to recommend sanctions against her, but she chose to step down, citing a 'witch hunt' and a denial of due process. Her departure is part of a broader wave of resignations in Congress, with two other lawmakers stepping down recently due to separate allegations of misconduct.
