Eric Swalwell resigns amid scandal

The resignation of Eric Swalwell comes as multiple women came forward with accounts of alleged harassment and assault spanning several years.

A criminal investigation is currently underway in Los Angeles, focusing on a reported incident at a West Hollywood hotel in 2018.

Swalwell has denied the allegations, characterizing them as a politically motivated attack on his career.

His exit follows the similar resignation of Representative Tony Gonzales, marking a significant moment of accountability within the House of Representatives.
