WASHINGTON — In less than 24 hours, complaints have been filed with the House Ethics Committee, the Transportation Security Administration and the House sergeant-at-arms involving U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn.
The latest complaints against Cawthorn, a 26-year-old Republican representing North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District, allege he is providing free housing and money to a member of his staff, carried a loaded gun into an airport and may have participated in insider trading.
The allegations involving Cawthorn’s scheduler, Stephen Smith, come with photos, videos and screenshots of financial transactions between the pair that led the complainant to ask the ethics committee to also look into the nature of their relationship.
