"If the Ethics panel's decision appears to be based on the evidence, and she's found culpable for this misuse of campaign dollars, I won't hesitate to call for resignation."
"If found guilty, that is a disqualifying offense."
"Many will support expulsion if she doesn't resign after being found guilty by the panel."
Cherfilus-McCormick faces serious allegations, including fraudulently funneling $5 million in FEMA funds to her campaign, tax fraud, and campaign finance violations. House Democratic leadership supports her right to due process but discomfort is growing within the caucus. Several anonymous House Democrats indicated that calls for her resignation may arise if the Ethics panel finds her culpable. Cherfilus-McCormick is set for a public trial before the Ethics Committee, with potential punishments including fines, censure, or expulsion. She also faces a federal criminal trial next month, with a possible sentence of up to 53 years in prison if convicted.
