MIAMI (AP) — U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida has been indicted on charges accusing her of stealing $5 million in federal disaster funds and using some of the money to aid her 2021 campaign, the Justice Department said Wednesday.

The Democrat is accused of stealing Federal Emergency Management Agency overpayments that her family health care company had received through a federally funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract, federal prosecutors said. A portion of the money was then funneled to support her campaign through candidate contributions, prosecutors allege.

“Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain. We will follow the facts in this case and deliver justice.”

A phone message left at Cherfilus-McCormick’s Washington office was not immediately returned.

LOL, must have been the hair straightener.

It just seems any monies from the feds is a potential dem grift stream.

Hopefully it's prison and not just a fine if found guilty.

If we had a constitutional govt, shit like this wouldnt exist.

Shes DEI

If you sorta read between the lines it looks like she was asked but refused to give the money back.

In December 2024, a Florida state agency sued a company owned by Cherfilus-McCormick’s family, saying it overcharged the state by nearly $5.8 million for work done during the pandemic and wouldn’t give the money back.

Evidently she was caught red-handed and said FU.....Good indictment!

3...2...1...Here come the typical racists to remind us that holding black people accountable is racist.

I suspect she was asked to give the money back to avoid all the DEI-type hassles.

But....reparations.

The American taxpayers owed her that money, because "racism..."

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

There seems to be a pattern

 

[excalibur]

She must be removed from the House, and Dems have George Santos as their way to vote for her removal.

Santos was removed after indictment, and before any trial.

The vile dems will fight tooth and nail for her as DeSantis would fill her seat till the mid-terms.

Good! Make them be very public about defending her.

 

[CrazyTrader55]

Remember: nobody is above the law.

Most importantly: which Lefty will be the first one to
A) defend her
B) cry racism
C) say "but Trump!'
D) all of the above

 

[1srelluc]

To the vile dems, being immoral and corrupt is their primary operating system, add diversity or lgbtq and its double.

If you ever read Rules for Radicals there is no mention of being honest, truthful, and above board. Any means to a end is justified in the vile dem world.

 

[Nostra]

Doesn't get much lower than this. She stole funds slated for people who had their homes destroyed and used for her personal aggrandizement.

Lower than scum.

House Dem Indicted For Bankrolling Campaign With FEMA Funds

Voters so far have been undeterred by her alleged crimes; the House Ethics Committee began investigating her in 2023.

Shouldnt she be in jail

[IDIOCRACY]

I wonder why so many black "leaders" find themselves in trouble for ripping off US taxpayers? By some measure I think they feel entitled to it.
