House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has made calling out GOP corruption a central theme of his party’s midterm messaging.Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history and everybody knows it, he has said.However it is a member of his own caucus that is in serious trouble. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) is under federal criminal indictment for allegedly stealing $5 million in FEMA funds and using that money to help fund her 2021 congressional campaign. Other charges include tax fraud and the use of straw donors. Cherfilus-McCormick — who allegedly purchased a huge diamond ring with the stolen funds — could face years in prison if convicted. Her criminal trial is currently scheduled to begin next month in Miami. But Cherfilus-McCormick’s more pressing political concern is Thursday’s upcoming “trial” within the House Ethics Committee. This is a rare procedure that underscores the seriousness of the alleged violations. Expulsion is a real possibility for Cherfilus-McCormick if convicted, according to multiple Democratic lawmakers and aides.
