Two U.S. representatives announced their resignations within hours of each other amid allegations of sexual misconduct. Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell of California said Monday he will resign, while Republican Tony Gonzales of Texas announced plans to leave Congress early Tuesday.
Swalwell's decision follows allegations of sexual harassment, assault, and rape by four women. He suspended his bid for California governor on Sunday, shaking up a race where he had been a Democratic frontrunner. Gonzales faced bipartisan calls to step down after admitting to an affair with a former staffer who later died by suicide.
