A bipartisan House Ethics subcommittee found Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) guilty of 25 violations related to laundering $5 million in FEMA funds into her congressional campaign, but House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has declined to call for her resignation, citing the ongoing ethics and criminal processes.
