Swalwell says he plans to resign from Congress amid sexual misconduct allegations
Representative Eric Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress following allegations of sexual assault and an impending House ethics investigation.
Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) announced his plan to resign from Congress following allegations of sexual misconduct and assault, while Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX) also announced a surprise retirement amid an ethics scandal.
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.
