Swalwell says he plans to resign from Congress amid sexual misconduct allegations
Representative Eric Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and a looming House ethics investigation.
Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) announced his resignation from Congress following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and assault, coinciding with a similar resignation announcement from Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX).
Media outlets across the political spectrum are providing uniformly negative coverage of Swalwell’s resignation and the suspension of his gubernatorial campaign. While center-left sources like The Daily Beast focus on the procedural pressure from the House Ethics Committee, right-leaning outlets such as Fox News and The American Spectator emphasize the "ignominy" of the scandal and the increasing number of accusers.
