From CNN.

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell announced Monday he planned to resign from Congress following explosive allegations of sexual misconduct against him. The announcement from the California Democrat comes as he faced a just-announced House ethics investigation and mounting pressure on both sides of the aisle to step down.

Hours later, embattled GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales announced that he would too step down from Congress, just days before he faced the possibility of a high-stakes vote that could have made him the seventh-ever member to be expelled from the House. The Texas Republican said he planned to “file my retirement from office” on Tuesday, which GOP leadership sources confirmed to CNN meant that he would resign. Gonzales had been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for having a relationship with a former senior aide in his congressional office.
