AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick, a Democrat from Florida, resigned minutes before a House Ethics Committee was set to vote on a recommendation to expel her, a rare action with only five expulsions in history. The resignation came amid a two‑year investigation that found she had misused federal emergency funding, violated Federal Election Commission rules and the congressional Code of Ethics, and faced a criminal indictment for allegedly laundering up to $5 million of disaster aid through her 2021 campaign—a case she has pleaded not guilty to and will stand trial next year. Calling the probe a “witch hunt,” Cherfilus‑McCormick warned that proceeding with disciplinary action before due process threatened democratic principles. Her departure follows recent resignations of Rep. Eric Swalwell and Rep. Tony Gonzales, who also stepped down under pressure from separate misconduct allegations.

Why did Donald Trump commute George Santos' prison sentence? The proof is in the party

A yearslong House Ethics Committee investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz found “substantial evidence” that the Florida Republican committed statutory rape, solicited prostitutes and used illegal drugs, according to a copy of the report obtained by POLITICO.

The report’s most explosive allegation, which Gaetz has long denied, is that he had sex twice with a 17-year-old girl at a party in July 2017.
