Facing an expulsion vote, Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus McCormick has resigned her seat effective immediately. As first exposed by REDBROWARD, Cherfilus McCormick created a multiple corporate entities to transfer public dollars to her campaign. Her district includes parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties.

In a statement, Cherfilus McCormick wrote, “This was not a fair process. The Ethics Committee refused my new attorney’s reasonable request for time to prepare my defense. By going forward with this process while a criminal indictment is pending, the Committee prevented me from defending myself. I will not stand by and pretend that this has been anything other than a witch hunt. I simply cannot stand by and allow my due process rights to be trampled on, and my good name to be tarnished.

Rather than play these political games, I choose to step away so that I can devote my time to fighting for my neighbors in Florida’s 20th district. I hereby resign from the 119th Congress, effective immediately.

But let me say this plainly: we should be very careful about the precedent we are setting. In this country, we do not punish people before due process is complete.

We do not allow allegations alone to override the will of the people. That is a dangerous path, and one that should concern every American, regardless of party.

To my constituents, it has been the honor of my life fighting for you in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Thank you for standing with me and fighting alongside me. This fight is far from over.”

Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick appears to be sporting a huge yellow diamond ring in a Thanksgiving message to constituents. On Tuesday, Cherfilus-McCormick surrendered to Federal authorities after being indicted on fifteen counts including theft and money laundering.

Prosecutors allege Cherfilus-McCormick used $109,000 to buy a 3.14 vivid yellow diamond ring.

Is that the same ring in the social media post?

Judge for yourself.

Here’s the message from the Congresswoman:

“This Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to say thank you. Serving you as your Congresswoman is a true honor, and I’m grateful for the chance to work every day to fight for our community. From my family to yours, I wish you a happy and safe Thanksgiving filled with love and gratitude.”
