Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress amid sexual-misconduct allegations. Left-leaning outlets frame the resignations as the result of bipartisan pressure and a push for broader House accountability. Center outlets emphasize the paired resignations and the allegations and expulsion pressure surrounding them. Right-leaning outlets focus more on proposals to revoke taxpayer-funded benefits or bar settlements, often linking them to allegations against Swalwell.
