House Ethics sexual misconduct probes

The disclosure follows the high-profile resignations of Reps.

Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales last week amid assault allegations.

The committee also published a list of 28 House members investigated for similar offenses over the past 50 years.

The panel acknowledged its limitations but committed to improving the system for reporting and investigating wrongdoing among its members.
