The House Ethics Committee has launched a formal investigation into Rep. Eric Swalwell following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including assault and rape. The probe comes amid bipartisan calls for his expulsion and his withdrawal from the California gubernatorial race.
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.
