Tillis Calls for Investigation Into Madison Cawthorn

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) raised allegations of insider trading against Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) and requested a House Ethics committee probe.

Said Tillis: “Insider trading by a member of Congress is a serious betrayal of their oath, and Congressman Cawthorn owes North Carolinians an explanation. There needs to be a thorough and bipartisan inquiry into the matter by the House Ethics Committee.”

Politico: “It’s pretty rare for party infighting to be this public — and even rarer for lawmakers to support primary challengers to incumbents across the Capitol. But Cawthorn’s penchant for stoking controversy is starting to wear on many Republicans.”
