Florida Rep Indicted for Theft

| November 20, 2025 | 13 Comments

U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-FL, has been indicted for stealing $5,000,000 in Federal disaster funding and using at least part of it to fund her re-election campaign.

The Democrat is accused of stealing Federal Emergency Management Agency overpayments that her family health care company had received through a federally funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract, federal prosecutors said. A portion of the money was then funneled to support her campaign through candidate contributions, prosecutors allege.

Seems to me more than a few commented at the time that all the money being poured into Covid relief was an invitation to theft. It asked, she answered.

Cherfilus-McCormick was first elected to Congress in 2022 in the 20th District, representing parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties, in a special election after Rep. Alcee Hastings died in 2021.

In December 2024, a Florida state agency sued a company owned by Cherfilus-McCormick’s family, saying it overcharged the state by nearly $5.8 million for work done during the pandemic and wouldn’t give the money back.

I guess the family that preys together, stays together?

The Florida Division of Emergency Management said it made a series of overpayments to Trinity Healthcare Services after hiring it in 2021 to register people for COVID-19 vaccinations. The agency says it discovered the problem after a single $5 million overpayment drew attention.

Cherfilus-McCormick was the CEO of Trinity at the time.

The Office of Congressional Ethics said in a January report that Cherfilus-McCormick’s income in 2021 was more than $6 million higher than in 2020, driven by nearly $5.75 million in consulting and profit-sharing fees received from Trinity Healthcare Services.  AP

Like they say, worry not about the millionaires who become legislators, but the legislators who become millionaires.

Isn’t that the typical dem operation though? Gain power then secure lots of $ to help maintain power.

A Democrat politician stealing from the taxpayers? Color me surprised!

“Color me surprised.”

We saw what you did there.

Meanwhile, Congressional Delegate Jasmine Crockett was defending fellow legislator from the Virgin Islands Representative Stacey Plaskett for receiving text messages from Jeffrey Epstein during a hearing.

That Jasmine, she’s a genuine rocket surgeon. Her district is lucky to have someone of such intellectual talent representing them.

She knew she was lying, that is why she referred to “a Jeffery Epstein.” She likely overlooked the fact that the Doctor Jeffery Epstein made some of his political contributions after the pedo Epstein was dead. Because she is low IQ. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)

Her IQ is a negative number.

Ahh, another day that ends in “Y”

Now let’s see some convictions from the indictments to prove that we don’t have a 2 tiered justice system.

I’ll wait.

Bigger question is who gets assigned the case. Florida or DC.

The proper venue is in Florida, where she committed her crimes. Lex loci delicti.

She’s got that Tiffany Henyard/Jasmine Crockett look.

Haven’t heard a peep out of Dolton Illinois lately. They must have cleaned up that mess.

Not a Lawyer

She probably took classes at the Clinton Foundation on how to manage disaster relief funds.
