WASHINGTON — Rep. Madison Cawthorn is now under investigation by the U.S. House Committee on Ethics over two questions: whether he engaged in insider trading and whether he had an inappropriate relationship with a staffer.
The committee declined to investigate Cawthorn over the charges against him of driving while his license is revoked and speeding, which are pending in court.
The Democratic chairperson and top Republican on the ethics committee announced the investigation in news releases Monday afternoon.
