Overview
- An eight-member adjudicatory subcommittee, following Thursday’s rare public hearing, announced Friday that 25 of 27 allegations were proven and said it will recommend sanctions to the full committee after the April recess.
- Investigators say a mistaken $5 million FEMA payment to her family’s health-care firm in 2021 was routed through multiple accounts and then into her campaign using friends and relatives as donors.
- She was indicted in November 2025 on related federal charges and has pleaded not guilty, and she continues to deny wrongdoing.
- The public hearing was the committee’s first since 2010 and capped a roughly two-year probe that reviewed more than 30,000 records, as members rejected her lawyer’s bid to delay the case until after a criminal trial.
- Any expulsion would require a two-thirds House vote, with Republicans pushing for removal and some Democrats now urging resignation as party leaders emphasize due process and await the committee’s sanction recommendation.
