Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress hours before a scheduled ethics committee vote on her expulsion, after an investigation found she committed 25 ethics violations including breaking campaign finance laws. The 46-year-old congresswoman is accused of illegally diverting FEMA disaster aid to her election campaign and spending the money on luxury purchases, including a $109,000 diamond ring. She maintained her innocence, calling the investigation a witch hunt.
