WATCH: Yet Another Democrat Lawmaker Comes Under INVESTIGATION By House Ethics Committee

Yet another Democrat lawmaker is now under investigation by the House Ethics Committee.

In November, the Ethics Committee announced that it was extending its preliminary probe into Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) regarding issues brought to their attention.

Now, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is officially under investigation by her fellow lawmakers after earlier investigative reports were brought to the attention of Congressional investigators.

Congressional lawmakers claim that McCormick violated campaign finance laws and otherwise misappropriated funds.

It is important to stress that this does not mean McCormick is guilty of any wrongdoing; it simply means that lawmakers are currently looking into the claims. Here’s what we currently know:
