Chuck Edwards Drops Campaign After Lavishing Young Staffers With Gifts

Original version ·

After an ethics panel flagged late-night texts, jewelry, and Broadway tickets for teenage staffers, Chuck Edwards decided it is time to pray and reflect.

The House Ethics Committee dropped a 25-page report detailing how Chuck Edwards treated two young female aides, including a 19-year-old, to lavish jewelry, paid vacations, and tickets to Hamilton on Broadway.

Investigators found the lawmaker repeatedly commented on their appearance and weight, sent romantic messages at 2 a.m., and showed up uninvited to their personal gatherings.

His defense team argued the report completely exonerates him on the grounds that he technically never explicitly propositioned them for sex.

Apparently, spending thousands on teenage subordinates is just standard mentorship as long as nothing is put in writing.
