The US House of Representatives ethics committee recommended on August 3, 2026, that Congressman Chuck Edwards, a Republican from North Carolina, be censured. The committee found that Edwards fostered a hostile work environment and engaged in sexual harassment by giving gifts and paying special attention to two female staffers. The bipartisan panel began its investigation earlier in the year after receiving complaints regarding Edwards' conduct. The report concluded that his actions violated House rules by singling out the two aides, which made them uncomfortable and negatively affected relationships with other employees.
