A House Ethics subcommittee found that Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) committed wrongdoing on most of the 27 counts leveled against her in a monthslong investigation centered on allegations of financial misconduct.

Cherfilus-McCormick is accused of stealing $5 million in funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and funneling a portion of them to her campaign account. The subcommittee, which was carrying out the investigation on behalf of the full ethics panel, said it deliberated “well past midnight” after a rare public hearing for Cherfilus-McCormick began Thursday afternoon.
