GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards, amid House Ethics inquiry, denies having inappropriate relationship with staff
Edwards said he will cooperate with the 10-member panel and called the accusations politically motivated and unfounded.
- On Tuesday, Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards denied allegations of inappropriate staff relationships to CNN, expressing confidence the House Ethics Committee investigation will clear him of wrongdoing.
- The House Ethics Committee investigation follows reports from Axios earlier this month regarding the North Carolina congressman's conduct toward two female staffers, after CNN reported sexual harassment allegations last month.
- Criticizing the media as "tabloid media," Edwards stated, "I feel strongly in this case there's not been any credible evidence." He accused the panel of unfairness in coverage.
- Although Edwards has not yet spoken with the 10-member panel, he plans to cooperate with their investigation and has discussed the situation with Speaker Mike Johnson.
- Edwards characterized the allegations as false accusations driven by political agendas, asserting, "The facts will have caught up with all the gossip" when the Ethics investigation concludes.
