"The House Democrat accused of stealing $5 million in FEMA funds called the indictment against her an attack on Black and brown people. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) on Wednesday was indicted for allegedly stealing millions in relief funds and using a portion of the money to fund her campaign in 2022. Earlier in the year, the state of Florida sued Trinity Health Care Services for overpaying the company for a Covid-19 vaccination contract."
"Well, it's an unjust indictment, and it seems like these intimidation tactics have been pervasive. We spent all week seeing different members getting censured, all in hopes of intimidating and kind of distracting from the Epstein files, and I look forward to my day in court so I can prove myself and actually state the truth. But if this is what Congress is becoming, where they're always trying to intimid."
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick was indicted for allegedly stealing millions in FEMA relief funds and using a portion to finance her 2022 campaign. The state of Florida sued Trinity Health Care Services earlier for an alleged overpayment related to a Covid-19 vaccination contract. The indictment alleges the CEO of Trinity, Cherfilus-McCormick, loaned herself the overpaid funds and routed money through multiple accounts to disguise its source. The Justice Department says the scheme involved laundering relief payments. She faces up to 53 years in prison if convicted and has called the indictment unjust and racially motivated.
