Cherfilus-McCormick Resigns Before Congressional Investigation. 

Last week, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Democratic representative from Florida, resigned before an investigation into her allegedly embezzling $5 million in disaster relief funds to fund her 2021 Congressional campaign.  According to a report in the New York Times, McCormick used the five million from FEMA, which was supposed to help register people for vaccines during COVID.  Instead, she used most of the money to fund her campaign and the rest for personal use. Despite resigning from Congress, she is still facing federal criminal charges and could spend up to 53 years in prison.  It is unclear what will happen next, but it is not a great look for the democrats, who are trying to highlight corruption on the other side of the aisle.
