Ex-Creshien? Correction: New title

Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress after a House Ethics Committee probe found 25 ethics violations, including misusing disaster relief funds for her campaign and purchasing luxury items such as a $109,000 three-car​at yellow diamond ring. She says she’s innocent and framed the probe as a witch hunt, stepping down just before an expulsion vote was to occur. She also faces federal charges for diverting FEMA disaster funds; that trial has been postponed to February 2027, with potential penalties up to 53 years in prison if convicted.
