Two members of the US Congress have resigned following separate sexual misconduct scandals. Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell announced his resignation on Monday after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment or misconduct. Hours later, Republican Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas also stepped down after admitting to a relationship with a former aide amid mounting pressure.
In his resignation letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson, Swalwell expressed regret for past mistakes and apologized to his family, colleagues, and voters. He stated that he would fight what he described as serious and false allegations but accepted responsibility for his errors. Gonzales admitted to having a relationship with a staff member who later died by suicide. He also faces allegations of sending inappropriate messages to another former employee, which he has not publicly addressed.
The resignations mark a rare bipartisan fallout in Congress, highlighting ongoing scrutiny over personal conduct among elected officials.
