Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick
Republicans, led by fellow Floridians Greg Steube and Anna Paulina Luna, are vowing to call a vote to expel her as early as this week. If successful, Cherfilus-McCormick (pictured) would be the third member to get the boot in just over a week. Photo: Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc/Getty Images

The House is bracing for the Ethics Committee’s recommendations tomorrow concerning the fate of Florida Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who has been accused of using $5 million of FEMA disaster relief funds to finance her congressional campaign. The committee has already found all but two of the 27 allegations against her to be credible. Tomorrow they’ll hold a public hearing where her counsel will present a defense and the letters of support that she’s filed will be considered.
