Eric Swalwell Resigns Amid Scandal

The political career of seven-term Congressman Eric Swalwell has collapsed following explosive allegations of sexual assault and harassment from multiple women.

The House Ethics Committee had just opened a formal investigation into the claims when Swalwell announced his immediate departure from the House of Representatives.

His resignation follows the suspension of his campaign for California governor, a race in which he was once considered a frontrunner.

While Swalwell continues to deny the most serious charges, he expressed deep regret for 'mistakes in judgment' and apologized to his family and constituents.
