Democrat Faces Ouster From Congress Over Federal Charges, Ethics Findings

The House Ethics Committee has found that Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick violated campaign finance laws and other regulations by receiving more than $5 million in federal relief funds and directing a significant portion of that money toward political activities.

An eight-member subcommittee voted early Friday that Cherfilus-McCormick was guilty on 25 of 27 counts related to the case, following a rare public proceeding that lasted more than six hours the previous evening, the New York Post reported on Friday.
