Rep. Nancy Mace said the resignations of Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales were a start and called for Reps. Cory Mills and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to resign or face expulsion. The article also notes investigations and allegations involving several of the lawmakers, including an ethics investigation of Mace.
Eric Swalwell said he would resign from Congress after sexual misconduct allegations prompted bipartisan calls for him to step down. Tony Gonzales, who had already said he would not seek reelection after admitting to an affair with a staff member who later died by suicide, also said he planned to resign. Mace said the two made the right call and that more resignations should follow.
Mace named Cory Mills and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, saying they should resign immediately or face expulsion. The article recounts criticism and allegations involving Mills, and reports that Cherfilus-McCormick faces federal charges she denies and that House Ethics Committee investigators allege numerous ethics violations. It also reports that Mace is under House Ethics Committee investigation over lodging reimbursements and has denied wrongdoing.
