""substantial evidence of conduct consistent with the allegations""
""I reject these allegations and remain confident the full facts will make clear I did nothing wrong.""
""Today's House Ethics findings detail more than two dozen counts of serious financial crimes,""
""When we return to Washington, I'll call up a resolution to expel her from Congress.""
Investigators found substantial evidence consistent with the indictment's allegations and indications of additional misconduct. Cherfilus-McCormick denied the allegations and asserted that the full facts will clear her. A House member plans to file a privileged motion to force an expulsion vote, which requires a two-thirds majority and would need roughly 80 Democrats to join Republicans. Evidence supports charges that Cherfilus-McCormick and her brother laundered a $5 million government contract overpayment through the family's health care company and directed much of it to the 2022 campaign. Additional allegations include failures to properly report finances, accepting excess donations, and improper office employment.
