Eric Swalwell Resigns From Congress

The resignation comes after at least five women came forward with detailed accounts of harassment and misconduct spanning several years.

Pressure had been mounting within the Democratic caucus as the House Ethics Committee prepared for a potential expulsion vote.

Swalwell's exit has upended the race for California governor, leaving a vacuum that rivals are already moving to fill.

The FBI has reportedly expressed interest in interviewing the former congressman as part of a wider investigation into his conduct.
