AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-California) and Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) separately announced plans to depart from Congress on Monday ahead of possible expulsion votes related to allegations of sexual misconduct.
Swalwell, who has vehemently denied an accusation of sexual assault but acknowledged some past "mistakes in judgment," said he would resign because it was wrong "for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties."
