## Resource

In the past few weeks, Rep. Greg Steube was leading the charge to bring to the House floor a vote to expel now-former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. Minutes before Steube was set to join the “Signal Sitdown” — and the same day the Ethics Committee was expected to render a recommendation to the House on whether to expel the Florida congresswoman over fraud allegations — Cherfilus-McCormick announced she was resigning her seat in Congress, effective immediately. On this episode of the “Signal Sitdown,” Steube, R-Fla., peels back the curtain on the investigation that ultimately resulted in Cherfilus-McCormick’s resignation. What he describes, based on investigations conducted by the Office of Congressional Ethics, the House Ethics Committee, and the Department of Justice, is an alleged plot to take advantage of DEI in the federal and state bureaucracy to commit fraud and attain and maintain political power. 👉For more videos like this, subscribe to The Daily Signal’s YouTube channel and enable notifications to be alerted the second a new video drops: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Learn more about your ad choices.
