California Democrat Eric Swalwell will resign from Congress after facing sexual misconduct allegations. In response to loud bipartisan calls to step down, Swalwell announced he will resign from Congress. Just days ago, he was seen as a frontrunner in California’s race for governor. He suspended his campaign over the weekend and on Monday, after the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation, Swalwell said he will step down. In a statement, he said he will fight the “serious false allegation” against him. But he also apologized for mistakes he’s made in his past. GC, Wash.
