A Florida congresswoman is facing serious federal charges over alleged Covid relief fraud.
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Florida) was released on a $60,000 bond after being charged with stealing $5 million in federal funds tied to the pandemic.
Federal prosecutors say the funds were intended for Covid-19 vaccination outreach. Her family’s company, Trinity Healthcare Services, requested $50,000 under a federal contract but mistakenly received $5 million — and kept it. Within two months, over $100,000 allegedly went toward a 3-carat yellow diamond ring.
The charges include theft of government funds, straw donor contributions, false tax filings, money laundering, and related conspiracy counts.
Cherfilus-McCormick denies the charges and calls the indictment “politically timed and politically motivated.” She says she has no plans to resign and will continue representing Florida’s 20th District.
As part of her release conditions, she must surrender her personal passport and limit travel to certain locations related to her congressional duties.

This woman is accused of stealing 5 million and gets out on 60,000 bond The covid vaccine has injured ,disabled , and killed thousands and nobody has been charged..Quite often there is a law for the rich and a law for the poor… Are we going to sweep this under the rug? Maybe we should take down our stars and stripes and put up a new flag with a swastika in the middle …Take a good look at our flag and remember what it cost and what it stands for !!
Gee, I wonder why we are $37,000,000,000,000 in debt.
So 1.2% is the fair bond???
I say 10% is more like it !!!
These people think they have some kind of right to steal MY TAX DOLLAR.
She BELONGS in prison !! PERIOD.
Steal that amount from a bank and you will spend a life time in prison.
Our lustrous DC criminals. Not to serve but to enrich themselves.
Quite a bunch.
Maybe its time to put the Pledge of Allegiance and and Christian prayer back in grade school.
