House ethics panel finds Florida Democrat committed 25 violations

The House Ethics Committee has determined that a Democratic congresswoman violated numerous rules and ethics standards. After meeting for several hours Thursday night, the congressional panel found that Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida committed 25 ethics violations. The allegations center around her receipt of millions of dollars from her family’s health care business after Florida made an overpayment. It’s a ruling that could give momentum to a GOP push to expel her from Congress. The committee said it would recommend a punishment in the coming weeks.
