House Report 119-693 and House Report 119-694

Members involved

• Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL)

Statement

On June 10, 2026, the Committee on Ethics adopted two reports: House Reports 119-693 and 119-694, which recommend the House of Representatives adopt resolutions holding Michael Joseph and Hector Roos in contempt of Congress for their failure to comply with duly authorized subpoenas in relation to the matter of former Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. Underlying the Committee’s decision to recommend Mr. Joseph and Mr. Roos be held in contempt is the imperative to protect the institutional interests of the House by enforcing its subpoenas, without which the House’s investigative proceedings cannot be fully executed. On June 18, 2026, Mr. Joseph submitted a response to the Clerk of the House. The Committee hereby publishes its Reports and Mr. Joseph’s response.
