Eric Swalwell Resigns From Congress

In a sudden political collapse, Eric Swalwell stated he would take responsibility for 'mistakes' while denying specific claims of sexual assault.

The resignation follows a series of reports from at least five women who accused the lawmaker of inappropriate behavior dating back to his college years.

House leadership has faced scrutiny over how long the allegations were known before public disclosure.

The exit has thrown the California governor's race into disarray, leaving a crowded field of candidates to scramble for his former supporters.
