JUST IN: Democrat Congresswoman Under Investigation For Potential Fraud

It looks like another Democrat House Representative is in big trouble.

An investigation has just been launched into Democrat House Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida over allegations of fraud.

The Federal Elections Committee is looking into several complaints against the Democrat Congresswoman that claim she violated multiple campaign finance laws.

Here are the details:

Reportedly, Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick failed to properly disclose some big financial contributions to her 2021 campaign in 2021, raising suspicious about potential fraud.

Several members of her family have also been implicated in the scandal.

The Daily Caller has more:

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has launched an investigation into Democratic Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick after multiple complaints allege her campaign violated federal and state laws surrounding campaign finance.

Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign began working with Mark Goodrich — a political consultant who had previously worked for Republicans — in 2021, while running in a special election for the south Florida House seat she currently represents. The Coolidge-Reagan Foundation’s Aug. 11 legal complaint to the FEC, based on an investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics’ (OCE), alleges Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign failed to report illegal in-kind contributions from an organization with ties to Goodrich and the congresswoman’s family.

“You don’t accidentally magically happen to have [multiple entities] ready to go at a moment’s notice. They’re not that quick to set up,” Dan Backer, the attorney filing the complaints against Cherfilus-McCormick for the Coolidge-Reagan Foundation, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “All of this was already in place. These people I think are blatantly corrupt.”

Corlie McCormick Jr. and Chantrell McCormick — the congresswoman’s husband and sister-in-law, respectively — are the registered agents of Progressive People Inc. (PPI), a Florida limited liability corporation (LLC) which gave $725,000 to Truth and Justice Inc. (TJI) in 2022. TJI is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization registered to Gary Eugene Beasley.

Goodrich had direct access to TJI’s funds, according to OCE, and was allegedly using TJI to pay vendors on behalf of Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign.

Goodrich, Beasley and Chantrell McCormick did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment. McCormick Jr. asked for the DCNF to email him and afterwards did not respond to said email.

Former staffers confirmed to the OCE that Goodrich actually managed both the congresswoman’s 2021-22 special election and 2022 general election campaigns — although Willis P. Howard officially served as the campaigns’ manager.

“The Committee on Ethics has not yet concluded its review of the allegations, and no decision has been made at this time,” Cherfilus-McCormick said in a statement to the DCNF. “As outlined in the Committee’s public statement, the referral for further review does not imply that any violation has occurred. I fully respect the process and remain committed to cooperating with the Committee as it works to bring this inquiry to a close.”

I have a serious question.

Not saying Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is definitely corrupt (innocent until proven guilty and all that), but why is it that when these types of things come to light, it’s always Democrats?…

It’s in the democrats DNA.
