A House Ethics Committee investigation found Rep. Chuck Edwards engaged in unprofessional and inappropriate conduct toward two female staffers. The House voted to censure him, registering deep disapproval of his behavior. This action does not expel him from office but serves as a formal rebuke.

The vote was nearly unanimous, with 413 members voting in favor of censure and 2 opposed. The case is part of a larger trend of lawmakers' behavior toward female staffers being scrutinized.

Further details about the investigation and its findings are available, including the distinction that the conduct did not involve certain forms of harassment.
