Congressman Madison Cawthorn is the subject of a civil lawsuit filed by an Indiana law firm that claims he hasn't repaid them more than $193,000 in legal fees this year.
According to the suit filed in the US District Court in Southern Indiana, Rep. Cawthorn retained the Bopp Law Firm from Terre Haute to handle a challenge about if Cawthorn was qualified to run for his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. The suit claims Cawthorn hired the firm in January 2022 for the task, producing eight documents as exhibits when filed....
Ironic that he won the case with almost $200K spent then lost the primary. It'll be just my luck if he loses his new Florida house to the lawyers or the bank and moves back here. Still, I wish all bad things for him.

It'll be just my luck if he loses his new Florida house to the lawyers or the bank and moves back here. Still, I wish all bad things for him.
One has to wonder who's funding him. After he (officially) leaves office in January, he'll have no visible income, at least none verifiable upon purchase of the house. I'm thinking there's some sleaziness around there that involves shell games and smoke and mirrors. Either way, I also wish him the worst.

You might still luck out. I think that in FL you can keep your house even if you file bankruptcy. Hell, it's probably why trump lives there.

Pretty sure that's everywhere, but it's only your homestead. So either the Florida or North Carolina house but not both.
State, federal and territorial homestead exemption statutes vary. Some states, such as Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas have provisions, if followed properly, allowing 100% of the equity to be protected. Other states, such as New Jersey and Pennsylvania do not offer any homestead protection. Whereas, the degree of protection in New York varies by county.

I wasn't sure; just remember reading it somewhere. But billy.pilgrim covered it. It's hard to tell where the best place to go broke is. I bet it's not Las Vegas.

In keeping with his pledge to make constituent service his top priority, Congressman Chuck Edwards (NC-11) today asked anyone with outstanding or unfinished casework to please get in touch with his office at 202-225-6401, or at 828-435-7310.
The office of former Congressman Madison Cawthorn did not transfer official constituent casework, which is standard practice for any legislative transition.
Due to this lack of information, Congressman Edwards and his staff have no way of knowing which constituents had ongoing casework or other outstanding federal issues. Repeated attempts to reach Congressman Cawthorn and his staff were made over the past month, but no response or action was provided.
The deadline for Cawthorn to sign over the database was Friday, December 23, and House rules provide that the outgoing member must execute the transfer process.
“I ran on the issue of providing the best constituent service possible for the people of Western North Carolina,” Edwards said. “I ask that anyone with any pending casework contact my office immediately. In addition, I hope members of the media will help inform the public of this request. I would like to ensure that our veterans, the elderly, the infirm and others who need help get the full benefit of the services they are entitled to."
Wow. Guess MadCaw had a caged goat to kill, instead.

Nothing prevented MadCaw, in the interests of his constituents, from transferring the data whether Edwards wanted and requested it or not. What a child!

In February 2021, Transportation Security Administration agents at the Asheville Regional Airport discovered an unloaded Glock 9mm handgun and loaded magazine in Cawthorn's carry-on bag. A spokesman for Cawthorn said the gun, magazine, and ammunition were meant to have been stowed in his checked luggage.
No Wikiword on the outcome.
In April 2022, Cawthorn was briefly detained at an airport in Charlotte, North Carolina, for attempting to board a commercial flight with a loaded handgun in his carry-on luggage. Police said he was cooperative, and he was cited for possession of a dangerous weapon on city property. On May 5, 2023, Cawthorn pleaded guilty and was fined $250.
It's not a more serious federal offense?

If a TSA employee finds you have a loaded gun in the airport, you will be charged with a crime and face civil fines. Also, if you have an unloaded gun that is not stored and transported properly, you will face charges and civil fines.
The typical fine for trying to bring a handgun through security is thousands of dollars. For certain types of firearms, like BB guns, compressed air guns, and flare pistols, The TSA fine can be between $330 and $1,960. For an unloaded firearm, you can be fined between $1,960 and $3,920 per violation. Loaded firearms, or unloaded firearms with accessible ammunition, can lead to fines between $3,920 and $9,800.
You also may be fined if the TSA finds an inappropriately stored firearm in your checked luggage. The TSA fine can be between $650 and $1,310 for undeclared or improperly packed firearms and between $1,310 and $2,610 for loaded firearms.
