Rep. Chuck Edwards Defends Against Censure for Alleged Inappropriate Conduct

  • Rep. Chuck Edwards is actively lobbying his colleagues to oppose a censure resolution following an Ethics Committee report that found substantial evidence of unwanted advances towards two female aides.
  • He claims that gifts and compliments were mischaracterized and insists that his conduct was not intended as sexual advances, asserting that an affectionate friendship is not inappropriate.
  • The House could vote on the censure as early as next week, with only 29 members having been censured since the mid-1830s.
