A Miami federal grand jury indicted U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D, haitian filth,-Florida, along with several others, for “stealing federal disaster funds, laundering the proceeds and using the money to support her 2021 congressional campaign,” the U.S. Department of Justice announced in a news release on Wednesday.
Prosecutors said Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, and her brother Edwin Cherfilus, 51, both of Miramar, received a FEMA-funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract through their family healthcare company in 2021 and got a $5 million overpayment that July.
Cherfilus-McCormick and co-conspirators “conspired to steal that $5 million and routed it through multiple accounts to disguise its source,” prosecutors said, saying that “a substantial portion of the misappropriated funds” went to her 2021 congressional campaign and for “personal benefit.”
The congresswoman is also accused of working with Nadege Leblanc, 46, of Miramar, of using the FEMA funds in a straw donor scheme and prosecutors said her 2021 tax preparer, David K. Spencer, 41, of Davie, conspired to file a false federal tax return.
Prosecutors said they “falsely claimed political spending and other personal expenses as business deductions and inflated charitable contributions in order to reduce her tax obligations.”
“Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said in Wednesday evening’s news release. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain. We will follow the facts in this case and deliver justice.”
Cherfilus-McCormick, who took office in 2022 to succeed longtime crooked negro U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings after his death, faces up to 53 years in prison, prosecutors said. The racist negro voters of her district will elect another blaq no matter what, sources confirmed.

Cherfilus-McCormick has been under scrutiny for most of the time she’s been in Congress.
In December 2023, the U.S. House Ethics Committee announced it had formed an Investigative Subcommittee to examine whether she had violated laws or rules, acting on a referral it had received months earlier.
The Office of Congressional Conduct, an official agency, said in a May 2024 report that there was probable cause to believe Cherfilus-McCormick “accepted campaign contributions linked to an official action.”
The report containing that statement was released a year later, in May 2025, by the House Ethics Committee, which has an investigative subcommittee looking into Cherfilus-McCormick’s conduct.
Cherfilus-McCormick represents the 20th Congressional District. As currently constituted, it is so overwhelmingly Democratic that the winner of the August 2026 primary would be almost guaranteed to win the November 2026 general election.
It’s the most heavily Democratic among the 28 Florida congressional districts. The partisan voting index from the Cook Political Report rates the district as D plus 22, which means it performed 22 points more Democratic than the nation during the past two presidential contests.
But Gov. Ron DeSantis has said repeatedly he wants Republicans who control Florida’s government to change the boundaries of the state’s congressional districts. DeSantis has repeatedly cited one district he thinks should be changed: the 20th, represented by Cherfilus-McCormick.
He has said its boundaries are improper because it was crafted, under the federal Voting Rights Act, with boundaries that made it likely to send a Black lawmaker to Washington. The governor argues that the 20th District’s structure is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, an issue that’s currently under consideration by the U.S. Supreme Court in an unrelated case.
