Swalwell and Gonzales Avoid Expulsion Votes

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) “officially submitted their resignation letters to the House clerk on Tuesday, avoiding expected votes to expel them from Congress over allegations of sexual misconduct,” CBS News reports.

“Their colleagues were prepared to move forward with the motions to expel them if their departures were not imminent. Neither Swalwell nor Gonzales gave a timeframe for their departures when they announced their resignations about an hour apart on Monday evening.”
