Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Resigns
Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is the third House member to resign in a single week amid a wave of ethics scandals.
A subcommittee investigation found she committed 25 violations, including the alleged misuse of $5 million in federal disaster relief funds to fuel her political campaign.
In a defiant statement, she labeled the process a 'witch hunt' and claimed she was denied due process.
Her resignation avoids a potentially humiliating expulsion vote on the House floor.
