found Edwards violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces after a months-long investigation, concluding that the two-term North Carolina Republican developed inappropriately close relationships with young female staffers that affected his official duties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the committee\u2019s report, Edwards, who is married, showered the women with expensive gifts, repeatedly commented on their appearance, invited them to intimate dinners and vacations, sent notes expressing his affection, and frequently sought to spend time with them alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

Investigators said Edwards called the women \u201cpretty\u201d and \u201cbreathtaking,\u201d commented on one staffer\u2019s weight, and gave them gifts including jewelry worth more than $1,000, designer handbags, firearms, shoes, flowers, a laptop, a cellphone, a KitchenAid mixer, a robotic vacuum, vacations, and tickets to performances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The report also alleges Edwards skipped House votes on one occasion to visit a female staffer\u2019s home, where he helped with yard work and decorated her Christmas tree. Investigators said he also wrote poems, paid for gambling outings, discussed visiting strip clubs in Washington, D.C., and planned weekend getaways with the women.<\/span><\/p>\n

The committee said it found no evidence that Edwards engaged in sexual activity with either staffer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat Representative Edwards did all these things to two young staffers, repeatedly over a sustained period, was beyond inappropriate,\u201d it added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
