路易斯安那州共和党众议员、众议院议长迈克·约翰逊表示，在众议院道德委员会认定佛罗里达州民主党众议员希拉·谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克存在超过24项道德违规行为后，议员们应将其驱逐出国会。

处境艰难的佛罗里达州民主党议员希拉·谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克正面临未决的刑事指控，她可能成为下一位面临驱逐的国会议员。
路易斯安那州共和党众议员、众议院议长迈克·约翰逊周二对记者表示，他支持将谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克驱逐出国会，理由是两党裁决小组在3月份认定她存在超过24项道德违规行为。
“道德委员会已经走完了所有程序，他们发现了一些令人警醒的事实，”约翰逊说。“我认为目前这些事实是无可辩驳的，因此我相信众议院会达成共识，认为她应该被驱逐。”
道德委员会的有罪裁决是一项为期数年调查的最终结果，在此期间，该小组约谈了数百名个人，并审查了数万份文件。

新一届众议院议程置顶驱逐威胁，本周将上演高风险博弈
佛罗里达州共和党众议员格雷格·斯图贝已承诺提出一项针对谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克的驱逐决议，但他表示将等待道德委员会公布对这位佛罗里达民主党议员的建议处罚措施。该委员会定于下周举行听证会，宣布对谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克的建议制裁措施。
谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克一直否认存在任何不当行为，也没有迹象表明她考虑辞职。这位佛罗里达州民主党议员还正在参加该州8月份初选的连任竞选。
驱逐一名议员需要三分之二多数票，这意味着需要相当数量的民主党议员支持将谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克赶下台，斯图贝的决议才能获得通过。
到目前为止，只有包括华盛顿州民主党众议员玛丽·格卢森坎普-佩雷斯在内的少数民主党人表示，如果谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克不辞职，他们支持将其驱逐。
加利福尼亚州民主党众议员埃里克·斯沃韦尔和德克萨斯州共和党众议员托尼·冈萨雷斯周一宣布计划辞职，此前两人本周都面临可能被驱逐的投票。两人都被指控存在性行为不端行为，并正在接受众议院道德委员会的调查。
约翰逊周二表示，考虑到对两人的指控，他们辞职是“恰当的做法”。

杰弗里斯拒绝在道德委员会作出有罪裁决后与受指控民主党议员划清界限
尽管众议院道德委员会作出了认定，众议院民主党领导层在很大程度上仍支持谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克。众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党众议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯表示，在道德委员会完成审议之前，他不会就谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克的命运置评。
如果共和党推进驱逐谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克的行动，民主党可能会提出报复性法案，试图将丑闻缠身的佛罗里达州共和党众议员科里·米尔斯赶下台。
米尔斯目前正因一系列指控接受众议院道德委员会调查，包括家庭暴力和竞选财务违规行为。他一直坚称自己无罪，并正在寻求连任。

约翰逊周二对记者表示，他将关注米尔斯调查的进展情况。
谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克因涉嫌窃取数百万美元救灾资金用于竞选国会和购买奢侈品，面临超过50年的监禁。她还被指控参与稻草人捐赠者计划，并共谋提交虚假联邦纳税申报表。

Mike Johnson says he supports expelling Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick over dozens of ethics violations

House Speaker Mike Johnson weighs in on expulsion threat facing indicted Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said lawmakers should expel Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., following the House Ethics Committee finding her guilty of more than two dozen ethics violations.

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, an embattled Florida Democrat facing a pending criminal indictment, could be the next member of Congress to face expulsion.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters Tuesday that he would support expelling Cherfilus-McCormick from Congress, citing a bipartisan adjudicatory subcommittee finding her guilty of more than two dozen ethics violations in March.
“The Ethics Committee has gone through all of its processes, and they found some alarming facts,” Johnson said. “I think the facts are indisputable at this point, and so I believe it will be the consensus of this body that she should be expelled.”
The ethics panel’s guilty verdict was the culmination of a yearslong investigation during which the group interviewed hundreds of individuals and reviewed tens of thousands of documents.

LAWMAKERS PUT EXPULSION THREATS ATOP HOUSE AGENDA AS RETURN SETS UP HIGH-STAKES WEEK
Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., has pledged to introduce an expulsion resolution against Cherfilus-McCormick, but he said he would wait until the ethics panel releases its recommended punishment against the Florida Democrat. The group is scheduled to hold a hearing announcing its suggested sanction for Cherfilus-McCormick next week.
Cherfilus-McCormick has continued to deny any wrongdoing and has not signaled that she is considering resigning. The Florida Democrat is also running for re-election ahead of the state’s August primary.
It takes a two-thirds majority to expel a lawmaker, meaning a significant number of Democrats would have to support ousting Cherfilus-McCormick for Steube’s measure to be successful.
Just a handful of Democrats, including Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp-Perez, D-Wash., have so far voiced support for Cherfilus-McCormick’s expulsion if she does not step down.
Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, announced plans to resign Monday after both lawmakers faced potential expulsion votes this week. Both men have been accused of sexual misconduct and are under investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
Johnson said Tuesday it was “the appropriate thing” for both men to resign, citing the allegations against them.

JEFFRIES DECLINES TO BREAK WITH INDICTED DEMOCRAT AFTER ETHICS PANEL’S GUILTY VERDICT
House Democratic leadership has largely stood by Cherfilus-McCormick despite the House Ethics Committee’s findings. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., has indicated that he will not comment on Cherfilus-McCormick’s fate until the ethics panel finishes its deliberations.
If Republicans move forward with expelling Cherfilus-McCormick, Democrats could offer a retaliatory measure seeking to oust scandal-ridden Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla.
Mills is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for a range of allegations, including domestic violence and campaign finance violations. He has maintained his innocence and is seeking re-election.

Johnson told reporters Tuesday that he would check the status of the Mills probe.
Cherfilus-McCormick is facing more than five decades in prison for allegedly stealing millions in disaster relief funds to finance her run for Congress and purchase luxury items. She is also accused of participating in a straw donor scheme and conspiring to file a false federal tax return.
