Florida Rep. Faces Indictment, Photoshops Ring Out of Image
U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick was recently indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami on charges of stealing millions in federal disaster-relief funds. The indictment alleges that she and her brother conspired to steal $5 million in FEMA funds that were mistakenly overpaid to their family healthcare company. Prosecutors claim the funds were then funneled into her congressional campaign and used to purchase a $109,000 yellow diamond ring. Interestingly, when she reposted her congressional portrait on Christmas Day, eagle-eyed observers noticed the ring was missing from her hand, sparking online speculation and drawing attention to the charges.
