North Carolina -- August 4, 2026: The bipartisan U.S. House Committee on Ethics has recommended that North Carolina Congressman Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) be formally censured after concluding that he engaged in what the committee described as "persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct" toward two young female members of his congressional staff.
