US Rep. Eric Swalwell Resigns Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations
U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell has announced he will step down from Congress to prevent further distractions for his constituents. In a statement on X, he apologised for errors in judgment but insisted he will contest a separate allegation. Swalwell criticised a perceived rush to judgment in Washington and said he intends to challenge the untrue claims against him. His resignation follows the launch of a sexual misconduct probe by the House Ethics Committee. He also suspended his California gubernatorial campaign amid pressure from party leaders. Over the next few days, Swalwell will work with his staff to ensure a smooth transition while continuing to defend himself against false allegations.
