A growing number of Congress members from both parties have called for Eric Swalwell, a Democratic US representative who ended his campaign for California governor on Sunday, to also resign his seat, following reported allegations of inappropriate behavior, sexual assault and rape.
Swalwell has denied the allegations, but he may not get the chance to quit before his colleagues expel him. Polarized Congress members appear to be eyeing an opportunity to rid themselves of both Swalwell and disgraced Republican US representative Tony Gonzales of Texas, who acknowledged having an extramarital affair with a staffer who later died by suicide.
