The Office of Congressional Ethics recommended that the House Ethics Committee launch an investigation into Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) after the board determined there was enough evidence to suggest she may have requested funds for a for-profit entity and violated campaign finance laws.

In a report from May 2024 released on Thursday, the OCE had recommended the Ethics Committee, a bipartisan 10-member panel, further review allegations against the Florida congresswoman in a probe that has been ongoing since 2023.
