From Politico:

A congressional watchdog office has found reason to believe that Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick requested community project funding, also known as earmarks, on behalf of a for-profit entity — a potential violation of House rules.

The findings of a new report made public Thursday by the Office of Congressional Conduct — which reviews outside ethics complaints against House members, investigates complaints and recommends further action to the House Ethics Committee — builds on the allegations the Florida Democrat has been facing since 2023.

That same office is the subject of an NYT story today, reporting that House Speaker Mike Johnson “waited more than four months to constitute the Office of Congressional Conduct, preventing it from investigating lawmakers. He has yet to name enough members to allow it to operate at full strength.”
