### House Ethics Committee to Put Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick on Trial — Because Why Not?
So, the House Ethics Committee is gearing up for a public trial next week for Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. And what’s she accused of? Oh, just casually swiping millions in FEMA funds. No big deal, right? Meanwhile, she’s also juggling a federal criminal case.
Cherfilus-McCormick tried to hit the brakes on this whole fiasco, asking to pause the Ethics Committee proceedings while she deals with her legal problems. Can’t say I blame her—who wouldn’t want to stall a public trial when there are serious allegations hanging over your head? But the bipartisan Ethics Committee decided to keep the train rolling, rejecting her requests for delay like it’s a game of hot potato.
They even turned down her plea to keep the proceedings behind closed doors. Because nothing says “we’re serious about transparency” like forcing a public hearing on allegations of theft. The Committee claims dragging this out any longer wouldn’t be fair to anyone involved. Apparently, justice waits for no one, especially when it involves a sitting member of Congress.
The hearing kicks off at 2 p.m. on March 26. Mark your calendars, folks—this is one courtroom drama you won’t want to miss. Will it be justice or just more circus antics? Stay tuned.
