Congressman Eric Swalwell has announced he will resign his California seat after being hit with explosive sexual assault and misconduct allegations.
The Democrat - who suspended his run for California governor on Sunday - apologized to his family and staff but insisted the claims against him are false.
Pressure had been mounting since Friday, when the San Francisco Chronicle published a bombshell report in which multiple women accused him of misconduct.
A former staffer also told CNN that Swalwell raped her while she was drunk.
He has denied the allegation and vowed to fight it.
But over the weekend, his political career went into free fall.
