From NPR.

Two members of Congress say they’ll resign, following allegations of sexual misconduct: Texas Republican Tony Gonzales and California Democrat Eric Swalwell, who’s also announced he’s suspending his campaign for governor of California.

NPR has not independently verified the allegations against Swalwell, who’s been accused of sexual misconduct by several women, and Swalwell has forcefully denied them. Still, the revelations have sparked almost immediate political backlash, especially as Swalwell is one of a handful of members facing controversy right now.

For weeks, there had also been calls for Gonzales to resign over an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide. Gonzalez had said he wouldn’t run for reelection, but shortly after Swalwell announced he was resigning, Gonzales said in a statement that he planned to file his retirement from office, too.
