纽约3月29日路透电 — 美国众议员吉姆·希姆斯周日与本党部分议员一道，呼吁民主党同僚希拉·谢尔菲卢斯-麦科米克辞职，此前国会专门委员会认定她违反了道德规则。
“如果她不辞职，众议院就将发起投票……我希望我的同僚能够选择辞职，以此避免这种局面，”希姆斯在哥伦比亚广播公司《面向全国》节目中表示。

众议院道德委员会主席、密西西比州共和党众议员迈克尔·格斯特在周五的一份声明中表示，一个小组委员会已经认定，针对谢尔菲卢斯-麦科米克的25项违规指控已“以明确且有说服力的证据”证实。去年11月，一个联邦大陪审团以两项罪名起诉了她：窃取联邦政府在新冠疫情期间发放的救助资金，并将该款项用于自己2021年的国会竞选活动。
谢尔菲卢斯-麦科米克的办公室未立即回复置评请求。她此前曾否认存在任何不当行为。

格斯特表示，众议院结束4月休会返回后，全体道德委员会将决定建议何种处罚措施。
去年11月的起诉
美国司法部称，涉事公司拥有由美国联邦紧急事务管理局拨款的新冠疫苗人员配置合同。
共和党议员以及部分民主党议员，如众议员玛丽·格卢森坎普·佩雷斯，已呼吁谢尔菲卢斯-麦科米克辞职。尽管希姆斯支持她辞职，但他补充道，目前仍有一些人会为她发声。
希姆斯援引了前众议员乔治·桑托斯的案例。这位纽约州共和党议员因欺诈和身份盗窃罪名被驱逐出国会并入狱，去年唐纳德·特朗普总统下令将其释放。
“两党在惩处本党团队内部的道德失范行为时保持一致性，这一点也非常重要，”希姆斯说道。

NEW YORK, March 29 (Reuters) – U.S. Representative Jim Himes on Sunday joined some members of his party in calling for fellow Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to step down now that a congressional panel has found she violated ethics rules.
“If she doesn’t resign, there will be a vote in the House. … I would hope that my colleague might avoid that outcome by choosing to resign,” Himes said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” program.

A subcommittee found that 25 counts of alleged violations by Cherfilus-McCormick had been proven “by clear and convincing evidence,” Representative Michael Guest, a Mississippi Republican who chairs the House of Representatives Ethics Committee, said in a statement on Friday. A federal grand jury indicted her in November on charges of stealing relief funds the federal government offered during the COVID-19 pandemic, and directing that money to her own 2021 congressional campaign.
Cherfilus-McCormick’s office did not immediately return a request for comment. She has previously denied wrongdoing.

The full Ethics Committee will decide on what sanctions to recommend after the House returns from its April recess, Guest said.
The November indictment
The company had a COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract funded by the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Justice Department said.
Republicans and some Democrats, such as Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, have called on Cherfilus-McCormick to resign. Although Himes favors her resignation, he added that some people would find a reason to support her for now.
Himes cited the case of former Representative George Santos, a New York Republican who was expelled from Congress and jailed on charges of fraud and identity theft before President Donald Trump ordered his release last year.
“It is also very important that both parties be consistent in punishing ethical lapses inside their own teams,” Himes said.
