Tony Gonzales Retires Amid Scandal

Representative Tony Gonzales is stepping down from his House seat as he faces a potential expulsion vote and an ethics probe.

The Texas Republican admitted to a relationship with a subordinate, a scandal that has drawn bipartisan condemnation and calls for his removal.

Gonzales stated that 'there is a season for everything' as he prepared to file his retirement paperwork.

His exit, alongside that of Eric Swalwell, marks a significant moment of turnover for a closely divided House of Representatives.
