A complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics alleges that embattled North Carolina Representative Madison Cawthorn exchanged lewd messages with a staffer that was photographed with a hand on the congressman’s crotch.
American Muckrakers PAC, which is also known as Fire Madison Cawthorn, filed a complaint with the office on 27 April requesting an investigation into whether Mr Cawthorn violated any House rules with regard to Stephen L Smith.
The complaint alleges that Mr Cawthorn violated multiple rules by providing free housing to Mr Smith, who is reportedly Mr Cawthorn’s cousin. It also alleges that Mr Cawthorn has provided loans to Mr Smith.

..."In addition, the two exchanged multiple Venmo transactions with various sexual undertones, such as “Nudes,” “The quickie at the airport” and “getting naked for me in Sweden.” Though it is possible they simply are joking.
Mr Cawthorn has come under increased scrutiny for his behavior in recent weeks after he told a podcast that members of Congress invited him to an orgy and others did cocaine. In response, many Republican leaders have endorsed his primary opponents.
The ethics complaint also cites how Mr Cawthorn reportedly attempted to bring a gun on a flight earlier this month.
The Independent has contacted Mr Cawthorn’s office for comment.
Earlier, the lawmaker took to Twitter with a defiant message for his followers.
“I’ve gained 43,000 followers since the coordinated assault against me and my reelection,” he tweeted.
On Friday, he defended himself and said Republicans were engaged in a smear campaign because he wanted to change the Republican Party for the better."...
