House Votes to Censure Rep. Chuck Edwards Over Conduct Toward Staffers
The US House of Representatives voted 413-2 to censure Congressman Chuck Edwards of North Carolina following a bipartisan Ethics Committee investigation. The committee found Edwards engaged in persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct toward two young female staffers, including lavish gifts, late-night messages, and unwanted attention, creating a hostile work environment. Edwards apologized, attributing his actions to a misunderstood friendship, and ended his re-election bid. The censure reflects the House's disapproval but falls short of expulsion.
