A grand jury indicted Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) for allegedly stealing $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds and using some of it to fund her campaign, the Justice Department announced Wednesday.
Prosecutors allege that Cherfilus-McCormick and her brother, Edwin, received an overpayment of $5 million in FEMA funds in July 2021, while their health care company was working on a FEMA-funded staffing contract tied to COVID-19 vaccinations. The congresswoman served as CEO.
