The Department of Justice has charged Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) with stealing $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds and laundering it, and using the proceeds for her 2021 congressional campaign.

A federal grand jury in Miami handed down the indictment. McCormick was first elected to Congress in 2022 in a special election after former Rep. Alcee Hastings passed away. She then won general elections in 2022 and 2024.
