ANOTHER Prominent Democrat Under Investigation For Alleged Criminal Behavior
Yet another prominent Democrat has been referred to authorities for investigation and possible prosecution for a crime.
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Florida Democrat, has become just the latest in a long list of Democrats suspected of outside-the-law behavior.
The Washington Examiner explains conservative watchdog Foundation for Accountability and Civil Trust has submitted a referral to the Department of Justice regarding her actions in allegedly retaining a $5.8 million overpayment from the state of Florida and using it for her congressional campaign.
She’s already been the subject of “numerous ethics” investigations by the Office of Congressional Ethics and House Ethics Committee. Their conclusions were that she accepted campaign contributions “linked to an official action, accepted illegal in-kind campaign contributions, dispensed special favors to friends, misrepresented the source of campaign contributions, and requested community project funding to be directed to a for-profit entity,” FACT charges.
Her actions like are “serious criminal violations,” FACT charges.
The report said Trinity Health Care Services, which Cherfilus-McCormick led before joining Congress, was accused by the state of “knowingly processing an invoice more than 100 times its typical invoice size.”
The state agency hired the healthcare company to help with COVID-19 vaccine registrations in 2021, and the company allegedly invoiced the state to obtain $5,057,850 in a payment instead of $50,578.50.
“The money wasn’t returned to the state of Florida, suggesting she may have pocketed it for her own political gain,” the report said, which also explained Cherfilus-McCormick’s “income allegedly increased by more than $6 million around the time.”
FACT charges, “the facts, timeline, and dollar amounts are plainly incriminating.”
