2:53Now PlayingRep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) resigned from Congress on Tuesday amid allegations of financial misconduct that could have led to her expulsion later in the week.
The stunning announcement came just moments before the House Ethics Committee was scheduled to meet to weigh potential penalties for the embattled Florida Democrat, who is facing federal charges over allegations of stealing millions of dollars from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help fund her congressional campaign.
Cherfilus-McCormick has maintained her innocence. But in a statement on Tuesday, she said the Ethics investigation “was not a fair process,” and threatened to disadvantage her defense in the criminal case.
