Swalwell Resigns Amid Misconduct Claims

Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell of California has officially announced his resignation from the House of Representatives amid a growing ethics investigation into allegations of sexual assault and harassment.

The decision follows a rapid political collapse after multiple women came forward with accusations that led to the suspension of his once-promising bid for California governor.

While Swalwell continues to deny the most serious allegations, he acknowledged making mistakes in his past that have made his continued service untenable.

His departure adds fresh uncertainty to the race for the governorship and leaves a vacancy in a key Democratic stronghold.
