TL;DR Summary

Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) after finding persistent, inappropriate conduct toward two young female staffers, including remarks about appearance, gifts and social events; the panel says this violated the spirit of House harassment rules, though it did not find sexual activity, and a privileged floor vote on the censure is planned when the House returns.
