Yet another prominent Democrat has been referred to authorities for investigation and possible prosecution for a crime.
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Florida Democrat, has become just the latest in a long list of Democrats suspected of outside-the-law behavior.
The Washington Examiner explains conservative watchdog Foundation for Accountability and Civil Trust has submitted a referral to the Department of Justice regarding her actions in allegedly retaining a $5.8 million overpayment from the state of Florida and using it for her congressional campaign.
She’s already been the subject of “numerous ethics” investigations by the Office of Congressional Ethics and House Ethics Committee. Their conclusions were that she accepted campaign contributions “linked to an official action, accepted illegal in-kind campaign contributions, dispensed special favors to friends, misrepresented the source of campaign contributions, and requested community project funding to be directed to a for-profit entity,” FACT charges.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Her actions like are “serious criminal violations,” FACT charges.
The report said Trinity Health Care Services, which Cherfilus-McCormick led before joining Congress, was accused by the state of “knowingly processing an invoice more than 100 times its typical invoice size.”
The state agency hired the healthcare company to help with COVID-19 vaccine registrations in 2021, and the company allegedly invoiced the state to obtain $5,057,850 in a payment instead of $50,578.50.
“The money wasn’t returned to the state of Florida, suggesting she may have pocketed it for her own political gain,” the report said, which also explained Cherfilus-McCormick’s “income allegedly increased by more than $6 million around the time.”
FACT charges, “the facts, timeline, and dollar amounts are plainly incriminating.”
Trinity now has agreed to repay the state $5.6 million over the next 15 years.
Already, New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, and Sen. Adam Schiff, another Democrat, have been put under investigation on suspicion of mortgage fraud.
And the FBI is investigating multiple officials who held office during the Barack Obama administration, such as ex-FBI chief James Comey and ex-CIA chief John Brennan, for possible criminal actions related to a vast conspiracy to attack Donald Trump.
Other Democrats who have been suspected of illegal actions, or actually remain under investigation, according to the Hill, include:
_New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was accused of impeding law enforcement officers.
_Sen. Alex Padilla of California was forcibly removed from a June 12 press conference by the Department of Homeland Security when he charged the stage while leaving protective agents uncertain who he was or what he was doing.
_Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey was charged for allegedly interfering with ICE agents during a visit to the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, N.J.
_Hannah Dugan has been relieved of her judicial responsibilities in Wisconsin after being indicted by a federal grand jury for “knowingly” concealing an illegal alien from law enforcement officers seeking to arrest him.
_Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested while visiting Delaney Hall with McIver. Authorities later said he would face no charges.
_A staff member for Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., was briefly detained in May after DHS agents entered the congressman’s Manhattan office searching for “protesters.”
