Summary

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) officially announced his resignation from Congress after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct."I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me, however, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make," Swalwell wrote on Tuesday in his resignation letter. "Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong," he continued. "But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress effective at 2:00 PM ET on April 14, 2026.""I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able, in my absence, to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th congressional district."
