Ethics Panel Probes NC Rep. Edwards Over Harassment Allegations

The House Ethics Committee has opened an investigation into Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) over allegations of a hostile work environment and sexual harassment, prompted by Axios reporting that multiple sources described inappropriate conduct toward two young female staffers. Edwards says he will fully cooperate and expects the review to uncover the facts, as lawmakers face renewed scrutiny following recent resignations of Swalwell and Gonzales.
