Democrats press Cherfilus-McCormick to resign or face expulsion after ethics findings

A growing number of House Democrats are calling on Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to resign or be expelled after the House Ethics Committee found 25 of 27 charges against her proven, including alleged misappropriation of disaster-relief funds. She is also under federal indictment. The Ethics Committee will vote on punitive action in mid-April, potentially including fines, censure, or expulsion, and several Democrats say they would support expulsion or resignation, signaling significant pressure on her remaining in Congress.

Resigning in Protest: US Counterterrorism Official Urges Reversal of Iran War

Joe Kent, the National Counterterrorism Center director and a long-time Trump ally, has resigned in opposition to the US war in Iran, urging President Trump to reverse course. He argued Iran posed no imminent threat and claimed the conflict was pushed by pro-Israel influence and media pressure. Kent, whose wife Shannon Kent was killed in Syria in 2019, said he could not support sending the next generation to a costly war that benefits no one, highlighting his military service and personal loss. The resignation marks another high-profile departure from the Trump era, though turnover remains relatively limited in his second term.
