WASHINGTON — A Democratic lawmaker was quietly investigated by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly pursuing an “inappropriate relationship” with a staffer — but the probe never substantiated the claims and was closed without releasing any public findings.
Rep. Alma Adams, a 79-year-old North Carolina pol who has served the state’s 12th District comprising Charlotte since 2014, was slapped with the ethics complaint in 2022 for getting “extremely close” to her aide Sandra Brown, NOTUS first reported.
Aides who spoke with ethics investigators were questioned about Brown’s visits to Adams at a one-bedroom apartment in DC — and her self-published novel that describes a quarrel between a woman and her lover’s husband, according to the outlet.
The book, “BossLady: The Legend of Sydney Donovan Begins,” was published under the pseudonym SaVette Brown, though the author’s Amazon page identifies her as “Sandra Austin Brown.”
Brown had claimed the fictional account “was loosely based on her life,” a source with direct knowledge of the remarks mentioned to NOTUS.
Their alleged relationship also created a “hostile work environment,” the report stated, with Brown weighing in on key decisions and even overruling higher-ranking staffers.
People familiar with the probe told the outlet that half a dozen ex-Adams aides were interviewed between January and September 2023 in both Charlotte and Washington, DC, after “a high-ranking staffer” filed the complaint with the Ethics Committee.

That’s just nasty! 😣
The gerrymander poster chile...
A crusty ol’ oyster, indeed.
Committeewoman Alma: “Girl, age ain’t nuthin but a number.
I’m trying to get some action going here!”
Staff Aide Sandra: “Please don’t stand so close to me!”
Did they pay off the aide from the Congressional slush/hush fund to keep her mouth shut about it all?

Then why are we hearing about this. Democrats are low life skunks - true - but there was no proof so why not just move on?
Some double entendre in the wording in the headline about probes and a lesbian affair.
Old Mark Russell comedy quip.
With all these attacks on Republicans by the House Ethics Committee I want you to remember the Democrats were investigated for ethics not long ago.
None were found.
That’s a positive for them.
Gross
Shades of Hillary Clinton.
I dont need to know what kind of probe she used with a female staffer I just ate
Several states passed laws to post the Ten Commandments in public schools.
If any institution needs a reminder of right and wrong, it is Congress.
EWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
Yuck. She’s the Congresscritter I’m stuck with despite voting against her every single time because I live in Charlotte where the Black Democrat political machine runs things. Alma Adams is terrible. Pick an issue and she is on the wrong side of it. Every time. Guaranteed.
Whoever replaces her will be no better.
Let’s investigate all of them.
