A House ethics panel Thursday reportedly found "substantial evidence" that Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) has committed conduct that was identified in the indictment against her, according to reports.
Cherfilus-McCormick was previously indicted "siphoning FEMA funds for her campaign, taking part in a straw donor scheme and tax fraud," according to Politico.
“Representative Cherfilus-McCormick disputes and refutes the allegations and report of the Ethics Committee’s Investigative Subcommittee,” Stroud said.
In July of that year, the company received an overpayment of $5 million in FEMA money.
The duo conspired to steal that million and funnel it through multiple accounts to disguise its source, prosecutors said in a news release.
