Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Democrat representing Florida, has been found guilty by the House Ethics Committee on more than two dozen ethics violations.

The House Ethics Committee's investigation resulted in a guilty verdict against the Florida representative, though specific details about the nature of the violations have not been fully disclosed in public reports.

Following the ethics panel's decision, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has declined to issue any public condemnation of Cherfilus-McCormick. Democratic leadership has not released statements breaking with the congresswoman despite the guilty verdict.

Cherfilus-McCormick, who represents Florida's 20th congressional district, won her seat in a special election in 2022. The ethics violations represent a significant development for the relatively new member of Congress.

The House Ethics Committee, which operates on a bipartisan basis, investigates allegations of misconduct by House members and can recommend various disciplinary actions ranging from reprimands to expulsion recommendations.
