Grand Jury Charges Florida Democrat with Stealing $5 Million in FEMA Disaster Funds

Elizabeth Weibel 19 Nov 2025

A federal grand jury charged a Florida Democrat with stealing millions in disaster relief funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and allegedly using the money to make donations to her congressional campaign.

In an indictment from the Miami federal grand jury, Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) was accused of having “received an overpayment of $5 million in FEMA funds” in July 2021, and reportedly “routed it through multiple accounts to disguise its source,” according to a press release from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. Part of the money was then reportedly “used as candidate contributions” to Cherfilus-McCormick’s 2021 congressional campaign.

Per the press release, at the time, the congresswoman and her brother, Edwin Cherfilus, 51, “worked through their family health-care company on a FEMA-funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract,” and their company received the overpayment:

    According to the indictment, Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, and her brother Edwin Cherfilus, 51, both of Miramar, worked through their family health-care company on a FEMA-funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract in 2021. In July 2021, the company received an overpayment of $5 million in FEMA funds.

    The indictment alleges that the defendants conspired to steal that $5 million and routed it through multiple accounts to disguise its source. Prosecutors allege that a substantial portion of the misappropriated funds was used as candidate contributions to Cherfilus-McCormick’s 2021 congressional campaign and for the personal benefit of the defendants.

“Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain.”

She was 'preserving our democracy' by embezzling and laundering public disaster relief funds.

Congressman Greg Steube
@RepGregSteube
Tomorrow morning I will be filing a privileged motion to censure Rep. Cherfilus McCormick and remove her from all committees.
This is one of the most egregious abuses of public trust I have ever seen. Stealing $5 million in taxpayer disaster funds from FEMA of all places is beyond indefensible. Millions of Floridians have relied on FEMA after devastating hurricanes, and that money was supposed to help real disaster victims.
And once House Ethics concludes their investigation or she is formally convicted, rest assured I will move to expel her from Congress.

@RepGregSteube
On second thought, I have decided to skip censure and move straight to expulsion.
Defrauding the federal government and disaster victims of $5 million is an automatic disqualifier from serving in elected office.
Cherfilus-McCormick needs to be swiftly removed from the House before she can inflict any more harm on Congress, her district, and the State of Florida.
I’ll be filing the resolution today. If she refuses to resign and save Congress the embarrassment of having to expel her, I will bring this resolution to the floor for a vote. Read my resolution here: https://t.co/IEmAktbLws

I won't say what I think appropriate for this person.

Especially considering FEMA was bypassing people in distress who had indications of being Trump supporters.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Here is where the $5 million went, according to the Miami Herald:
