Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is keeping the pressure on after a significant week of resignations in the House of Representatives. She took to social media to call out Senate Majority Leader John Thune, urging him to investigate a member of his own chamber. She said the allegations against the senator are “very disturbing” and noted that her chief would be reaching out to Thune’s office to follow up.
This came right after a major shake-up in the House. Luna led a bipartisan effort alongside Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández to force the resignations of Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales. Both men were facing possible expulsion votes due to serious misconduct allegations. Swalwell faced accusations of sexual assault and sending unsolicited explicit messages, while Gonzales faced scrutiny over an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide.
